Because they already have a full outer shell of electrons, which is the most stable configuration.

What element is inert?
Some element that is unreactive, like any of the rare gases helium, neon, argon etc.
What is the family name of neon?
The Noble gases, these are unreactive elements which exist as single atoms due to them having a full outer shell of electrons.
What element has properties that are similar to neon?
Any of the noble gases. Argon an Helium are the two closest in the periodic table and would be extremely similar. Neon is a noble gas (chemically inert). The noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. The best way to find elements that are similar is to look at a periodic table of elements. The elements with similar characteristics are grouped and listed in vertical columns (above or below one another).
Is argon less likely to react with other elements?
No, not compared with neon.
Why does group 18 of the periodic table of elements not make any ions?
Helium, neon, argon, etc. are referred to as inert gases because the outer s and p sublevel are full -- they have 8 elecrons which makes them stable and unreactive.
What elements are almost completely unreactive with other elements?
The elements in group 8 - the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon) - are completely unreactive, as they have a complete outermost energy level ie. a perfect electron configuration.
Why other elements are like neon and argon nonreactive?
There are six noble gases: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They are generally unreactive at room temperature.
What is a element that will not form a compound?
Group 0 Elements ( Helium, Neon, Argon...) do not form compounds because they have a complete Octet and are thus unreactive and exist as mono atomic elements
What is special about the outer electron orbits of helium neon and argon?
unreactive
The noble gases include helium neon argon krypton xenon and radon. What property do these elements share?
They readily form compounds with other elements.
What element is inert?
Some element that is unreactive, like any of the rare gases helium, neon, argon etc.
What element is Neon and argon?
Neon and argon are two distinct elements.
What elements can be found in elemental form uncombined with other elements on earth?
Highly unreactive elements that will not chemically combine include: Platinum (Pt) Gold (Au) Helium (He) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Xe) Neon (Ne) The first two are unreactive because they are at the bottom of the metals reactivity series. The rest are unreactive because they are part of the inert gases.
Is neon related to any other elements?
Yes, neon is related to the other nobles gasses helium, argon, xenon, krypton, and radon. These elements can be found in the far right column of the periodic table.
Inert noble gas belonging to the argon group?
All of the elements in Group 18 (or VIII A).
What are the atoms that don't react but stay as single?
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, do not react with other elements and remain as single atoms. They have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive.
What is the family name of neon?
The Noble gases, these are unreactive elements which exist as single atoms due to them having a full outer shell of electrons.
