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.
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.
There are no noble gases in the first energy level. Noble gases are found in the last (highest) energy level of an atom. The first energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the noble gases have completely filled outermost energy levels.
No. Only helium and neon have full outer shells- the rest just have 8 electrons filling the s and p orbitals- interestingly it is these heavier elements for which compounds have been prepared.
Yes, they have stable electron configuration i.e, their outer most shell has all its valence electrons filled.Some famous noble gases areHelium (He)Neon (Ne),Argon (Ar),Krypton (Kr),Xenon (Xe),and the radioactive Radon (Rn).
Noble gases are very stable because their outermost electron shells contain the maximum number of electrons that those outermost shells can possess. This is a correct statement. Yes.

Noble gases are the gases in the rightmost column of the Periodic Table that have a full outer energy level. This is why the noble gases do not react with other elements readily. When an atom has a full outer energy level, it means that it has the maximum number of electrons in these outer shells, making it stable.

Another word for a noble gas is an inert gas. These elements have the maximum electrons in their highest energy level.

noble gases have the maximum ionisation energy. helium has the highest ionisation energy
Noble gases are generally non-reactive because they already have a complete valence shell.
noble gases or group 1
First of all, ''orbit'' is not the right word.You mean shell.The shells are divided into blocks and the blocks are divided into orbitals in which the electrons are situated. An outermost shell which may contain maximum number of 8 electrons is normally composed of 2 blocks - the s block with 1 orbital and p block with 3 orbitals.As a rule every orbital may contain maximum number of 2 electrons so such shell with these 2 blocks would contain maximum number of 8 electrons. When all these 8 electrons have filled all of the outermost p and s orbitals of an atom, the energy of such system is at its lowest value.And as a rule the atoms are trying to do this because when the energy is in its lowest value they are in their most stable condition.If the electrons were 7 for instance one orbital would remain have filled which would raise the energy and the condition would be less stable. The outermost shell of the noble gases is filled with the maximum number of electrons - its p orbital posses 6 and its s - 2 electrons which gives 8.That's why these gases are inert.They don't need to remove or gain electrons because this would raise the energy and the stability is going to be damaged.
