What is the name of the family that has elements that have a full outer shell?
This is the noble gases familiy.
Why are the nobles gases nonreactive?
Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. Their electron configuration does not easily allow them to gain, lose, or share electrons with other elements. This lack of reactivity is what gives them their name "noble."
Which group of elements will never react with other elements and what is the name of that group?
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, will never react with other elements. They have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive.
How many electrons does chlorine have on the outer shell?
chlorine has 6 electrons in the outer shell. although these have a special name, they are called valance electrons.
Another name for the outer shell of an atom?
the valence shell
What name is given to just the outer shell of an atom?
valence shell
Noble gases have less stable electronic configurations then all other elements in the periodic table?
Noble gases actually have the most stable electronic configurations in the periodic table due to having a full outer shell of electrons. This full octet makes them less likely to react with other elements, earning them the name "noble gases."
What is the general name of the elements having 2 or 8 electrons in their valence shell?
Elements with 2 or 8 electrons in their valence shell are generally known as inert or noble gases. These elements are very stable and unreactive due to their full outer electron shells. Examples include helium, neon, and argon.
What is the name of the outer covering of an egg?
The outer covering of an egg is called the shell.
What is the name given to the outer shell of the atom?
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
Why are helium neon and argon called inert gases?
Helium, neon, and argon are called inert gases because they are chemically stable and do not easily react with other elements to form compounds. They have a full outer electron shell, making them very unreactive under normal conditions.
What is the proper chemical name for helium?
Helium is an element. It is a Noble Gas (group 8) which means it has a full outer shell and is not reactive. It's symbol is He.
