What is the outer shell of the noble gases called?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons) and have stable electronic configuration.


Why are noble gas nonreactive?

Having the outer shell of electrons filled noble gases are very stable.


Why are noble gases monotonic?

Noble gases have completely filled outer most shell. They are chemically inert and exist as monoatomic species.


Do noble gases have full outer shell of electrons?

Yes, noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, which makes them highly stable and unreactive with other elements. This full outer shell configuration is why they are commonly referred to as inert gases.


How many electrons does neon have in its outer shell?

Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.


Why are noble gases monotomic?

Noble gases have completely filled outer most shell and have stable electronic configuration. They are chemically inert and exist as monoatomic species.


What is the difference between noble gas and full outer shell?

Noble gases or the inert gases as they are become know as have a full outer shell. It is possible to get different elements to fill in the last outer shell but it is extremely difficult to take electrons from a noble gas therefore when you ask what the difference is the question is perhaps not phrased properly because there is no difference they are two different categories. A noble gas is an element with a full outer shell and full outer shell is when an element has filled all of the max electrons in the last orbital.


What is the link between noble gas and full outer shells?

Noble gases have completely filled valence electrons. Helium has 2, other elements have 8


The outer energy level of a noble gas is?

The valence shell (outermost energy level) of a noble gas is filled in ... ns2 np6 electron configuration except helium where it is 1s2.


Does oxygen react with noble gases?

No! oxygen does not react with a noble gas because a noble gas does not want any electrons. This means, it's outer shell or valence shell is filled with electrons.


When an atom's outer layer is filled with electron it is?

Atoms whose outer shell is filled have eight valence electrons and belong to Group XVIII. This group is known as the noble gases.


Is it true or false that Noble gases are inert gases?

Noble gases are inert gases because of a completely filled valence shell,hence they need not to satisfy their valency.
