Noble gases have a full valence shell. Reactions often take place in order for an atom to gain a full valence shell and then become chemically unreactive. Since the noble gases already have a full valence shell, they are unreactive (although some exceptions do aply)
What else can I help you with?
True or false noble gases are inert gasses?
Noble gasses are historically known as inert gasses - so true
Where are the inert gasses located on the periodic table?
Inert gasses are also called noble gasses. These gasses are unlikely to participate in chemical reactions. Inert gasses are located in the 8th group of the periodic table.Inert gasses are also called noble gasses. These gasses are unlikely to participate in chemical reactions. Inert gasses are located in the 8th group of the periodic table.
What is another name for the noble gases?
pure or inert gasses
Which group of elements are called the noble or inert gasses?
Group 8a
Why are noble gasses also known as inert gasses?
The noble gases were once called inert gases because until about 1960, no compounds of them had been discovered.
What is special about the inert or noble gasses?
All the noble gas elements have completely filled orbitals and are hence stable and chemically inert under room temperature.
Why are noble gasses called inert gasses?
With very few exceptions (you can make argon fluorides, but you have to work at it), the noble gases are nonreactive--they won't form compounds.
Noble gases are inert gases true or false?
TRUE (apex)
What does noble mean in noble gasses?
Noble means complete. They have complete outermost energy levels. They are unlikely to react.
Which non metals do not eact on the periodic table?
Group-18 elements do not react. They are noble gases.They are inert in nature.Noble gases are unlikely to react. They are in the 18th period of the periodic table. They are called inert gasses too.
What do neon kryptonand helium have alike?
They are all inert or "noble" gasses that generally are not affected in chemical reactions.
Are Noble Gas elements reactive?
No; quite the opposite, in fact. The "noble" or "inert" gasses were named that because. like "noble" people, they didn't interact with "ordinary" people.
