Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inert means not reactive, and noble gases have full valence shells that do not readily participate in chemical reactions. Therefore, option A ("undergo very few chemical reactions") is the correct choice. Option B ("exist as gases at room temperature") is partially correct, as noble gases do exist as gases at room temperature, but this is not related to their inertness. Option C ("undergo many chemical reactions") is incorrect, as stated earlier. Option D ("lose and gain electrons easily") is also incorrect, as noble gases generally do not form ions or bonds with other atoms.
