Yes they have eight electrons in their valence shells. This is why they are not reactive. All elements have valence shells.

What are noble gases famous for?

Being extremely stable. Noble gases have full valence shells.


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.


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.


Do noble gases readily share their valence electrons?

I don't think noble gasses have valence electrons. They are noble because all their shells are full which makes them not as reactive.


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 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 chracterizes the electron configuration of noble gases?

They have completely filled shells, with eight valence electrons.


Does noble gases have full valence shells?

Yes, noble gases have full valence shells, which is why they are stable and generally do not react with other elements. Their electron configurations result in a complete octet of electrons in their outer shell.


How many valence electrons does is have argon?

Argon is a noble gas. All noble gases have stable outer shells with 8 valence electrons (with the exception of He, which as 2).


Why are noble gases insert?

They have completely filled shells, with eight valence electrons (stable) and hence are inert.


How many valence electrons are present in noble gases?

Noble gases do not like giving up electrons. There are 2 electrons in the outer shell of helium and 8 electrons in the outer shell of the other noble gases (group 18 of the periodic table), representing filled shells.


What is noble gases used for?

Not much. Noble gases have full valence shells, or full outermost shells, so they don't tend to bond with many other elements. They are also the most stable of all the element families.
