Xenon.
Xenon will form compounds with halogens under different conditions.

Members of the Group 18 family, also known as the noble gases, were once thought to be inert. This is because they were believed to be completely unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, which made them stable. However, it was later discovered that some noble gases can actually form compounds under certain conditions.

What is neons family group name?
Neon is a Noble Gas.
Which group of the periodic table do exceptionally inert gases belong and why are they inert?
group 18 elements. they are inert because they have completely filled orbitals and and stable or chemically inert.
Which group is non-reactive (inert)?
In chemistry the Inert Group are the Noble Gases. So called be cause they do not react with anything. The gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.
Is nitrogen an inert element as compare to other element of this group?
Yes. it is relatively inert.
What family of elements includes helium and neon?
"Noble gases" is the usual name given. The noble gases are inert due to closed electron systems and strong typically antibonding character in their molecular orbital systems.
Which family of atoms on the periodic table is inert?
The noble gases in group 18 are inert.
What familie does krypton belong to?
Krypton belongs to the Inert or Noble gases group or chemical family in the Periodic Table.
What is the family called of argon?
Group 18 Helium family Inert gases Noble gases
What element is unreactant?
All the elements in the Inert Gases family (exc. Radon) are highly unreactive. The Inert Gases family occupies Group 18(0) of the Periodic Table. They each have 8 electrons in the outer shell. The Inert Gases Group contains;HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenonRADON
What is neons family group name?
Neon is a Noble Gas.
What family do helium and argon belong to?
Noble gases. Also known as Group Zero and inert gases.
Which group of the periodic table do exceptionally inert gases belong and why are they inert?
group 18 elements. they are inert because they have completely filled orbitals and and stable or chemically inert.
What group number are the inert gases?
Elements belonging to group 18 are termed as the inert gases.
Which family does NOT have electronegativity values?
It is not true to say that any family does not have electronegativity values. It is tempting to say the inert gases, group 18, but we have a value for the electronegativity of xenon, 2.6 on the Pauling scale. Some of the other members of the group form compounds, though they are difficult or impossible to isolate, and their electronegativities have therefore not been measured. Whether they can thus be said to have electronegativity values or not is a moot point.
What family does argon belong to?
Argon is an inert gas. and can be found in the last column of the periodic table, which it Group 18. It is a "friend" of helium, neon, krypton, xenon and radon. A link can be found below.is inert gas the family of argon
What is the difference between inert and other than inert gas?
Inert means they don't react. Group 18, the noble gases, are inert.
What is the element neon family name?
Neon is in the far right family, know as Noble gases or group 18 and period 2.
