Report Abuse. An inert element is an element that has no capacity to bond to other atoms. Most of the Noble elements Helium,Neon,Argon,Krypton,Xenon & Radon are unreactive. But, Xenon is. Atoms are clumps of sub atomic particles like protons,electrons & neutrons. There's more to it than that.
The inert gases are inert because they are complete with 8 valence electrons in its outer shell. All other elements that are not filled with 8 ve's are not inert, and can loose or gain electrons. Yet, to fill the outer shell, elements are happiest if they have 8 ve's in their outer shell. Therefore, if Nitrogen has 5 in its outer shell how many will it need to be fully filled & happy? You would need 3 more.
