Inert Gas

</dt>
Any one of six gases, helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, all of whose shells of planetary electrons contain stable numbers of electrons so that the atoms are almost completely chemically inactive. Also called rare gas. </dd>
All these gases are found in the earth's atmosphere but, with the exception of argon, are found only in very small amounts. Fluorine compounds of the rare gases have only recently been discovered. [[/a>|/a> ]]
