What pattern is in a noble gas?
Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, which makes them highly stable and unreactive. This electron configuration is known as the octet rule or the noble gas configuration, and it is a pattern observed in all noble gases.
Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy?
"Noble gas configuration" means that in writing out an electron configuration for an atom, rather than writing out the occupation of each and every orbital specifically, you instead lump all of the core electrons together and designate it with the symbol of the corresponding noble gas on the periodic table (in brackets). For example, the noble gas configuration of oxygen is [He]2s22p4
What rule states that atoms react so as to acquire the stable electron structure of a noble gas?
octet rule
Explain why the noble gases are sometimes called inert gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).
Which theory proposes the idea that the state comes into being when a small group of people takes over a territory and requires others to obey its rule?
The Force theory
What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?
The Group 18 elements are called the noble gases or sometimes inert gases. Wikipedia has information on the noble gases, and a link is provided.
What characteristics have to be present for a government to be an oligarchy?
rule by a small group of people
What group of elements satisfies the octect rule without forming compounds?
The noble or inert gases.
When a small group of powerful people rule everyone it is called?
oligarchy
What is a person of high birth who helps to rule a country called?
A Noble.
What was the rule by a small group not an aristocracy?
Oligarchy
Group 18 of the periodic table low reactivity?
No, since these elements have complied to the octet rule. (except He, Pauli's Exclusion Principle. But still, He is stable.)
What is rule by a small group of educated people?
Intelligentsia
What is the term for sovereignty held by one person or group?
Monarchy is the term for a "rule by one". The corresponding term for "rule by a few" is called an oligarchy. The form of government that is controlled by one person, or a small group headed by that person, is a "dictatorship".
What group is stable and will not bond?
Noble Gases are stable due to the "octet" rule (they have as many electrons as they can hold) and will not bond.
Which element in group VIII are very stable?
all elements in group 8 are very stable as they have 8 electrons in their outermost electron shell, satisfying the octet rule. They are very stable and are called noble gas. they exist in a monoatomic gas.
What has to be present for a government to be an oligarchy?
rule by a small group of people
