The valence electrons are filled in the p orbitals for noble gases (s orbital for helium)
Noble gases are found in column (or group) 18
Noble or inert gases
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
No. Helium is the only noble gas to have an empty p-orbital, and has one full s-orbital. The rest all have at least one of each orbital full.
All group 18 noble gases have a completely filled outer electron shell, which gives them stability and inertness. Their electron configurations end in s2p6, meaning they have a full s orbital and a full p orbital in their outermost shell.
There are six noble gases: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon
"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.
column of the periodic table.
Noble gases can be found in the atmosphere; the air on Earth is partly composed of the noble gasses.
Noble gases are generally colourless, odourless gases. They are found in trace amounts in the earth's atmosphere. They are chemically inert.
They are the family that is the furthest to the right of the Periodic Table.
