41. Which of the following noble gas is used as anesthetic agent? [S.S.C. Online MTS (T-I) 2.08.2019 (Shift-II) ]

Correct Answer: (a) Xenon
Solution:Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas that has been used as an inhalation anesthetic. It has a low blood solubility, which allows for rapid onset and recovery, and it has fewer side effects compared to some other anesthetic agents.

(b) Argon, (c) Neon, and (d) Helium are noble gases but are not typically used as anesthetic agents due to their properties.

42. Which of the following is NOT a noble gas? [S.S.C. JE Mechanical Exam 22.03.2021 (Shift-I) ]

Correct Answer: (b) Boron
Solution:Noble gases are elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, known for their chemical inertness (unreactivity). The noble gases listed are:
  • Argon (Ar)
  • Neon (Ne)
  • Krypton (Kr)
  • Boron (B) is a metalloid element in Group 13, and it is not a noble gas.
