Why neon highly reactive?
neon has completely filled energy levels and hence is generally chemically inert (or unreactive).
Is argon a reactive atom?
No. argon is chemically unreactive due to the presence of completely filled orbitals.
Noble gases are chemically?
Noble gases are chemically inert. They have completely filled orbitals, hence are generally non-reactive (or chemically inert).
Why are noble gases almost non-reactive?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / electron energy shells. They are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally they will not accept / gain / share electrons and they do not form compounds.
Which atom is more chemically reactive an atom with a partly filled energy level or an atom with all energy levels completely filled and why?
If all the electron orbitals are filled then the atom is inert. It will not chemically react with anything. If an atom has empty spaces in the outer orbit, it will react with other elements. Electrons from other elements can share positions in the outer orbits.
Which are more chemically reactive halogens or noble gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals and hence are generally chemically inert. Halogens are highly reactive as they need one more electron to complete octet.
What is a chemical property of helium?
Helium has completely filled orbitals / energy levels and is chemically inert. So it has no chemically property.
How reactive is neon gas and can it combine with other elements?
Neon has completely filled orbitals. It is chemically inert and does not combine with other elements.
How reactive are the elements in noble gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.
Why is neon the least reactive element?
Neon completely filled orbitals / energy levels. It has 8 valence electrons and have stable electronic configuration. Hence it is chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions. Neon is not the least reactive.... helium is.
Is noble gases Least chemical reactive?
Yes. because, Noble gases have completely filled valence electrons, they are stable and chemically inert.
Why is neon the least reactive of all the elements?
neon has completely filled orbitals, obeys octet rule and is stable. hence it is chemically inert.
