Inert gases. This was a common term for them until the first reaction between a noble gas and another material was discovered a few decades ago.

Explain why the noble gases are sometimes called inert gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).
Which of these groups in the periodic table is made from non-reactive elements?
Group 18, also called the noble gases, contains the elements that are nonreactive.
What is the name for land that is almost completely surrounded by water on three sides?
A piece of land that's surrounded by water on three sides is usually called a peninsula.
Why is the Yuctan called a peninsula?
A peninsula is a region of land surrounded by water on at least three of four sides and connected to a larger piece of land. A sea is a body of water, and thus cannot be called a peninsula.However, seas are usually surrounded by land on three sides, sometimes almost completely surrounded by land, which does make them seem like a water version of a peninsula. There are also inland bodies of water called seas, such as the Dead Sea or Caspian Sea, but these are technically saltwater lakes.
Why are sometimes called families?
Because the data set is sometimes called a group

Inert Gases
Group 8A also referred to as Group 18 elements on the periodic table share which characteristics?
The group 18 elements, also called the noble gases, are gaseous elements, completely nonreactive, with a full, stable valence shell. They were the last elements to be discovered because they're inert.
What is the family of elemnts in nonreactive gases called?
Noble gases
A body of water almost completely surrounded by water?
A body of water almost completely surrounded by water is called an ocean. Oceans will often run into each other.
Is helium a chemical energy?
Helium is a nonreactive element called a noble gas.
An acid that ionizes almost completely in solution is called a acid?
Strong

What type of milk has almost of the fat removed?
Milk with most of the fat removed is called Skim Milk(sometimes called Skimmed Milk.)
What is a nonreactive saucepan?
A nonreactive saucepan is one that is made from stainless steel, glass, or ceramic materials. So are those coated with Teflon. They're called nonreactive because these materials in contact with the food don't react with acidic ingredients the way copper and aluminum do. Stainless steel, glass, ceramics and Teflon are highly resistant to chemical attack. And as you might expect, different materials have different advantages and disadvantages.
Which of these groups in the periodic table is made from non-reactive elements?
Group 18, also called the noble gases, contains the elements that are nonreactive.
