Question

Which of the following is a neutral gas?
A. Nitrogen
B. Neon
C. Argon
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: - Neutral gas is also called inert gas. Inert comes from a Latin and it means non-reactive which means these gases do not initiate the chemical reaction by themselves. The term inert gas is context-dependent because several of the noble gases can be made to react under certain conditions.

Complete answer:
A neutral gas is one that is stable which means it has 8 valence electrons in its outer level already and does not need to react to achieve 8 electrons. These gases are also called Noble gases. Helium is considered a neutral gas because it only has one energy level and can only hold 2 electrons.

Therefore, our answer is D.

This is because all are natural gas and they do not react with acid or base.

Note: - An inert gas is a gas that does not undergo chemical reactions under a set of given conditions. The noble gases often do not react with many substances and were historically referred to as the inert gases. Inert gases are used generally to avoid unwanted chemical reactions degrading a sample.
