Noble gases already has full valence shell
Group one elements are the most reactive with group 7 elements as it is the easiest way for the elements to complete their outer shell as the group one element gives its extra electron to the group 7 element and then the group 7 element has a full shell too.
The reason it can be placed in group II is because it has 2 electrons in its outside shell (also its only shell) and the groups represent how many electrons in the elements outside shell, the reason it is normally placed in group 8 or 0 is because the first shell has a maximum of 2 electrons and all elements that have a full outside shell are placed in group 8/0 and can't normally react.
Normally, when elements react they do so to attain a full outer shell, which is stable. Helium already has a full outer shell and so does need to not react to attain one.
Are very stable Are gases Have a full outer shell Don't react Hope this helps
Noble gases are least reactive because they have a full shell
Basically non reactive elements are elements that have a full survalence shell meaning that their last shell of neutrons is full., the last shell has 8 electrons or in case of helium 2. because of their full survalence shell they aren't reactive since they are already stable. Alex A.

All elements in group 7 have the same no. of electrons in their outermost shells... and this no. correspondes to the group no.
Group one elements are the most reactive with group 7 elements as it is the easiest way for the elements to complete their outer shell as the group one element gives its extra electron to the group 7 element and then the group 7 element has a full shell too.
These elements are Nobel Gases in group 18.
Elements have a number of electrons in their outer shell of the atom, all elements want to have a full shell and usually form with other atoms to do so. However, Xenon is a noble gas and already has a full outer shell and so does not combine with other elements unless it is made to do so.
The halogens, column 17.
group 18 elements are what we call noble gasses. This means that their most outer shell called the valence shell has all 8 electrons. The reason why other elements are reactive is because all elements want to have a full valence shell because it makes them more stable. The noble gasses have a full shell so they are not very reactive.
Because they already have a full outer shell of electrons, which is the most stable configuration.

They are all in the same Group VIII. Thus they all have the same # of electrons in their outer shell; which is full. Since the outer shell (valence shell) is full, they are all unreactive compared to other elements.
