The Nobel gasses. Generally inert.
Their valence shells are completely full, so they are least likely to be reactive and are thus most stable.
Inert gases
The Noble Gases.
Some are but the most reactive are also non-metals.
The Noble Gases.
The Halogens are the most reactive non-metals. However, their reactivity decreases as you go down the group. Most reactive Fluorine>Chlorine>Bromine>Iodine>Astatine Least reactive. However, Astatine is not fully characterised because it is radio-active, and consequently is not found in open(school) labs.
No. They are the least because their energy levels are full.
Most reactive metals are alkali metals, most reactive nonmetalas are halogens.Least reactive metals are platinum metals; least reactive nonmetals are noble gases.
No, Group 8A (Noble Gases) are the least reactive nonmetals because they have a full outer shell of electrons and do not readily form chemical bonds. Group 7A (Halogens) are more reactive in comparison.
The least reactive nonmetals are found in Group 18 of the periodic table, known as the noble gases. This group includes elements like helium, neon, and argon, which have a full valence shell of electrons, making them very stable and largely unreactive. Among them, helium is often considered the least reactive due to its small size and complete electron configuration.
Nitrogen (N) is likely to be the least reactive among the nonmetals listed. It is a diatomic gas with a stable triple bond that makes it less reactive compared to phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O) which are more readily reactive due to their lower bond strengths.
Helium is the least reactive element, to the point of being unreactive.
