Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.43QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why helium is inert whereas the Group 2A metals are not has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
- The 2A group metals are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium.
- Whether a metal or an atoms is inert or not is depends on its electronic confiuguration.
- If a metal or an atoms has noble gas configuration then it should be inert.
- There are various factors to explain it, in terms of removal of the electron from the outer shell of the metal says the stability of the metal and it tends to get noble gas configuration by lose of electrons or gain of electrons.
