Almost always, yes. This is why they are so stable and do not react: having filled valance shells, they can neither give up or gain an electron to become more stable.
The exception to this rule are the heavier noble gases, whose outermost valance shells are more prone to ionization due to the shielding effect from the electrons in the lower valance shells.
What else can I help you with?
What chemical family is composed of elements with filled valance shells?
The noble gasses. i ike men
Which element that has an outermost level that is complete?
The noble gases have valance shells that are complete. For this reason, these gases are inert. The noble gases are helium, neon, krypton, argon, and radon.
Why are noble gases are non reactive?
They have filled valence shells. Atoms undergo chemical bonding in order to have filled valence shells by sharing electrons or transferring electrons. Because the noble gases already have filled valence shells, they have no need to react with other elements.
Why are the noble gases unreative?
they have completely filled shells (or orbitals) and are hence stable and unreactive.
What is the number of unpaired electrons elements in noble gas?
There are no unpaired electrons. All electron shells are filled; this is the reason they are called the noble gases.
What is the link between noble gas and full outer shells?
Noble gases have completely filled valence electrons. Helium has 2, other elements have 8
What are the three noble gases that have the outer most shell filled?
All noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon) have completely filled valence shells (valence orbitals).
What chracterizes the electron configuration of noble gases?
They have completely filled shells, with eight valence electrons.
What element that has full electron shells?
The noble gases, which are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, have their outermost electron shells full.
Why are noble gases insert?
They have completely filled shells, with eight valence electrons (stable) and hence are inert.
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)
Ia a noble gase a cation?
noble gases are elements and generally do not form cations due to the presence of completely filled valence shells.
