Gases with eight valence electrons.
Noble gases have completely filled outer most shell and have stable electronic configuration. They are chemically inert and exist as monoatomic species.
The noble gases (aka inert gases) are the most stable elements.
It is the noble gas family or the group XVIII.
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.
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.
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).
Noble gases have completely filled outer most shell. They are chemically inert and exist as monoatomic species.
the noble 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.
Among these, neon and argon are most stable, as they are noble gases and have completely filled orbitals.
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.
