Argon, Helium, and all other elements at the far right end of the Periodic Table have a full valence (outer) electron shell, with 8 electrons in the s and p orbitals. The goal of every chemical reaction is to satisfy the octet rule, and fill the valence shell of all elements involved.
Because the inert gasses already satisfy the octet rule, they have no reason to react. Their nonreactivity has earned them the nickname "inert" which means "lifeless or inactive".
Noble gases. Also known as Group Zero and inert gases.
The "inert" or "noble" gasses are called that because they do not participate in any chemical reactions. They are: Helium, neon, argon, krypton,. xenon, and radon. (Xenon has been known to form compounds with other elements, but only at exceptionally low temperatures.) They are in Column 18 of the WebElements periodic table.
The group that argon belongs to is the Noble Gases, otherwise known as the inert gases. However, Noble gases is the more acceptable term nowadays because the description inert implies that they cannot be reacted with. These Noble Gases such as argon can be reacted with, but they need incredibly extreme conditions to do such.
Group 18 (also known as group 0) element don't react much as they have a full outer shell of electrons. Some element in group 8 include: Helium, Neon, Argon and Krypton GROUP 18 IS ALSO KNOWN AS NOBLE GASES OR INERT GASES
Group 18 is the noble gases, the last group on the periodic table. The elements are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. These elements have a full outer shell and are virtually nonreactive.
Noble gases. Also known as Group Zero and inert gases.
Inert gas = Noble gas Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon
helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and the radioactive radon (Rn)
the last group or the 18th group of the table the helium group known as noble gases are known as inert gases

The Noble Gases, formerly known as the inert gases consist of: Helium- He Neon- Ne Argon- Ar Krypton- Kr Xenon- Xe Radon- Ra
You can use air but it won't float so I would recommend helium. If you suck in helium, it will make your voice sound weird.... Try it!!
Yes, helium is an inert gas.
No. It"s an inert gas,inert gases do not form compounds. Reactive gases(like Hydrogen ) do, like H-2-O or Hydrogen-Di-Oxide-better known as water.
No, "xeon" is not another name for "noble gases." The noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn), and ununoctium (Uuo). (Ununoctium is not a naturally-occurring element and only a few atoms of it have ever been produced.)
