Question

Which group on the Periodic Table is inert?
Scientists Say: Periodic table | Science News for Students

  1. Group 1
  2. Group 2
  3. Group 17
  4. Group 18

hintHint:

Group 18 is the noble gas family.

The correct answer is: Group 18


    • In the periodic table there are 118 elements arranged in 18 groups and 7 periods.
    • Group 1 and 2 are called alkali metals and alkaline earth metals respectively and are quite reactive.
    • Group 17 is called the halogen family is the most reactive group.
    • Group 18 is the noble gas family and are inert.

    Helium, Argon, Neon are inert. These days Xenon shows little reactivity with oxygen and has few compounds.
