No.
Helium is the only noble gas to have an empty p-orbital, and has one full s-orbital. The rest all have at least one of each orbital full.

Which sublevel is filling with electrons for the noble gases?
p-orbitals.
Why are noble gases called rare gases?
Because they are chemically inert (or noble) due to the presence of completely filled orbitals.
Does noble gases react high or low?
Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals and are hence stable or chemically inert.
Why are the noble gases not included in electron affinity?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals are are stable. they do not accept electrons and hence are not included in electron affinity.
Why do noble gases have a stable electon configuration?
because they have completely filled orbitals
What is the relationship between the stable ions and the noble gases?
Generally (but not always) stable ions will have the same the electronic configuration as that of noble gases (completely filled valence shells / orbitals)
What is the common chemical property used to group the noble gases?
Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals.
Which sublevel is filling with electrons for the noble gases?
p-orbitals.
What orbital are the noble gases found in?
The valence electrons are filled in the p orbitals for noble gases (s orbital for helium)
Why are noble gases called rare gases?
Because they are chemically inert (or noble) due to the presence of completely filled orbitals.
Does noble gases react high or low?
Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals and are hence stable or chemically inert.
Why is helium stable with a different arrangement?
All noble gases have completely filled orbitals. Helium has two valence electrons and its s-orbital is full and is stable. Other noble gases have completely fill p-orbitals as the valence orbitals.
How are the noble gases different from all the other gases in the periodic table?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals and are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive).
What elements have full s and p orbitals?
Elements with full s and p orbitals in their highest electron shell are the noble, or inert, gases of the last column on the periodic table: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.
Why do the noble gases in group 8 not needed to react-they are happy?
Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals. Hence they are chemically inert.
What are characterisatics of noble gases?
Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals. Helium has 2 valence electrons, whereas other noble gases have 8. They are generally chemically inert at STP.
What category is noble gases in?
Chemically inert Have completely filled valence orbitals
