Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical properties of argon, neon and helium are to be explained. Also, their uses have to be mentioned.

Concept Introduction:

Argon, neon and helium are noble gases. These noble gases include helium (Z = 2), neon (Z = 10), argon (Z = 18), krypton (Z= 36), xenon (Z= 54), and radon (Rn= 86). These gases are arranged on the basis of their boiling points and low reactivity.

Under a given set of conditions, a gas that does not undergo any reaction is known as an inert gas.

Inert gases, being stable and less reactive, are used in the arc welding industry, cryogenic systems, bulbs, to create an inert atmosphere for synthetic reactions, etc.
