The inert or noble gases have a stable full outer shell of electrons which is why they are so unreactive.
Noble gases are stable because they have a complete outer shell - that is, eight valence electrons. Other elements react in order to gain or lose valence electrons, but noble gases are satisfied.
he outer shell for electrons is full
Beacause it has a full outer shell so is stable and unreactive
Where there are 8 electrons in the outer shell so a full shell. Elements are reactive when they need to lose or gain an electron. The noble gases are unreactive as they have a full outer shell.
Gas. Extremely unreactive. EXPLANATION: It is a noble gas (inert). This means it has a full shell of outer electrons. Atoms spend their lives trying to get a full shell of outer electrons because it will make them really stable, and they do this by reacting with other atoms. Argon has a full outser shell of electrons therefore it is stable and unreactive.
Krypton is a noble gas and has a particularly stable electronic configuration. That's why it may be very unreactive.
Because they already have a full outer shell of electrons, which is the most stable configuration.

Yes, they are. The noble gases (group 18) on the periodic table of elements are unreactive because they have 8 electrons on their outer shell (valence electrons) and therefore they are very stable. Due to this stability, they will rarely react with any other chemical.

For an element to be stable, it must have a full outer shell (valence shell) of electrons. An element with a full outer shell of electrons will act like its nearest noble gas and be stable. Most elements require 8 valence electrons to be stable, however H needs 2.
an element is stable when it has a full outer shell of electrons. to abide by the octet rule it must have a shell of 2 then 8 electrons. An element with a full outer shell (8) will be stable and act like its nearest noble gas.
