inert
An inert gas is a gas that does not readily undergo chemical reactions with other chemical substances and therefore does not readily form chemical compounds. The noble gases often do not react with many substances and were historically referred to as the inert gases. Inert gases are used generally to avoid unwanted chemical reactions degrading a sample. These undesirable chemical reactions are often oxidation and hydrolysis reactions with the oxygen and moisture in air. The term inert gas is context-dependent because several of the noble gases can be made to react under certain conditions.
Purified argon gas is the most commonly used inert gas due to its high natural abundance (78.3% N2, 1% Ar in air) and low relative cost.
Unlike noble gases, an inert gas is not necessarily elemental and is often a compound gas. Like the noble gases, the tendency for non-reactivity is due to the valence, the outermost electron shell, being complete in all the inert gases. This is a tendency, not a rule, as noble gases and other "inert" gases can react to form compounds.
Examples: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn

Selling my full Bofors 40mm Naval Cannon Clip. This ammo is INERT. They all have the same matching Lot number and dates! These are in fantastic condition but have been cleaned before by a previous owner. I have not cleaned them at all. Clip is marked with a USN...
Looking for a new addition to your man cave? Perhaps an attention getting door stop? It's top heavy so perhaps not a door stop. I'm selling one 90mm M108B AP projectile and casing which weigh in at around 25-30 pounds. Not something I'm looking to ship so hoping for a local in-person sale in...
