What is the group number for elements that have a stable number of electron spin their outer energy level?
The inert or noble gases have a stable full outer shell of electrons which is why they are so unreactive.
Do noble gases have a maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
Yes they do, because, for example, neon has 2 electrons in its inner shell and 8 on its outer shell; these shells are both full. Helium, the lightest of the noble gases, has only 2 electrons, but that completes it only shell. All the other noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, which is a stable arrangement.
How many electrons are present in an inert element or noble gases like neon?
1. Neon has 10 electrons; each noble gas has a different number of electrons. 2. The outer electron shell of noble gases is full, containing eight electrons.
Do noble gases have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
Yes, the outermost energy level of the atoms of the noble gases are filled, meaning that they have the maximum number of electrons. This is why noble gases are stable and unreactive. The atoms of reactive elements share or transfer electrons in order to fill their outermost energy levels, making them stable like the noble gases.
What is the noble gases structure?
8 outer electrons s2p6
What is it called when an electron has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
Which group in the periodic table has a stable number of electrons in their outer energy levels?
noble gases or group 1
All the elemental gases except for the Noble Gases come in what kind of special molecules?
All the elemental gases except for the noble gases come in molecules that are unstable. The noble gases are all stable, they have the maximum number of valence electrons that their outer shell can hold.
Why do noble gases not normally form compounds?
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.
Why noble gasses are not active?
Noble gases are not active because of their outer shells. The outer shells of these gases are full of 8 valence electrons, which make them stable and inert.
How many electrons does noble gases have in the outer shell?
8 electrons (except for helium which has 2)
Why are noble gases typically nonreactive?
Noble gases are generally non-reactive because they already have a complete valence shell.
