Question

The ability of a material to burn (its flammability) is an indication of the materials reactivity with oxygen. Does the information you found about flammability agree with the general trend that noble gases are fairly unreactive? Explain your answer

Answer 1

Yes, this theory supports the inert nature of noble gases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Noble gases already attain octet state stability, by having their outer shells completely filled with electrons. This makes them unable to take part in chemical reaction (by lose, gain or sharing of electrons).

Flammability occurs when matter burns through combination with oxygen, and changes to a different substance.

I hope this explanation is clear, let me know if I can be of further assistance.
