Noble gases
Inert Gases
Noble gases are also called inert gases because they tend to be chemically nonreactive due to their stable electron configurations.
Nonreactive gases are gases that do not easily undergo chemical reactions with other substances. Examples include noble gases like helium, neon, and argon, as well as diatomic molecules like nitrogen and oxygen in their elemental forms. These gases are often used in inert environments or as protective atmospheres in various industrial processes.
Column 18, or in older tables, column VIII, the noble gases.
Noble(nonreactive) gases like argon
Nobel gases are relatively nonreactive because they have eight electrons in the outermost energy level, which is a stable configuration
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
The noble gases, including neon, have a complete outer shell of electrons, making them stable and nonreactive. They are colorless, odorless, and tasteless gases at room temperature. They have low boiling and melting points, and are used in lighting, cryogenics, and various technological applications.
The noble gases family do not react with other elements since they have a full valence shell of electrons, making them stable and nonreactive.
Group 18, also called the noble gases, contains the elements that are nonreactive.
These are the noble gases.
