Many of the substances, however, are inert or found in such small amounts they do not disrupt our own basic chemistry.

Since it has no electrons, it must be chemically inert.

Some of the potential reagents are very fragile and will need to be used at cryogenic temperatures, but the elimination of an atom of an almost inert gas can simplify the chemistry.

But the internal inertia against doing so appears too great at this time.

They have been where you are, and they have overcome their inertia and started moving forward.
