Noble gases are found in column (or group) 18
Noble or inert gases
Noble gases usually exist as monatomic (single atom) gases because they have a stable electron configuration and are inert, meaning they do not easily react with other elements. This makes them chemically unreactive and often found in their elemental form in nature.
Helium, neon, and argon are the only elements that exist in nature as isolated atoms, due to their stable electronic configurations that do not readily form chemical bonds with other elements. These elements are known as noble gases for their inert nature.
The valence electrons are filled in the p orbitals for noble gases (s orbital for helium)
There are six noble gases: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon
Noble gases can be found in the atmosphere; the air on Earth is partly composed of the noble gasses.
The Noble gases, these are unreactive elements which exist as single atoms due to them having a full outer shell of electrons.
Noble gases are generally colourless, odourless gases. They are found in trace amounts in the earth's atmosphere. They are chemically inert.
They are the family that is the furthest to the right of the Periodic Table.
