Why are noble gases monotomic?

Noble gases have completely filled outer most shell and have stable electronic configuration. They are chemically inert and exist as monoatomic species.


Which family is the most stable elements?

The noble gases (aka inert gases) are the most stable elements.


What is the most stable group on the period table known as?

It is the noble gas family or the group XVIII.


The most charateristic property of the noble gases is?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally they will not accept / gain / share electrons and they do not form compounds.


Which group of elements is the most chemically stable?

The Noble Gases Group are called 'noble' because they don't willingly react with anything. The Noble Gases are Group (or Family) 18, the column on the far right side of the periodic chart.


Why are noble gases the most nonreactive?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. Their valence orbitals are completely filled, have 8 electrons and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).


Why are noble gases monotonic?

What elements are most stable on their own?

What is the most characteristic property of nobel gases?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. 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.


Which two elements from boron carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine neon aluminum silicon phosphorus sulfur chlorine and argon are the most stable?

Among these, neon and argon are most stable, as they are noble gases and have completely filled orbitals.


Explain why noble gases are unreactive in terms of electron shells?

Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. They do not easily gain or lose electrons since their electron configuration is already at its most stable state. This full outer shell configuration, known as the octet rule, makes noble gases chemically inert.
