The properties of the noble gases can be well explained by modern theories of atomic structure: their outer shell of valence electrons is considered to be "full", giving them little tendency to participate in chemical reactions, and only a few hundred noble gas compounds have been prepared. The melting and boiling points for each noble gas are close together, differing by less than 10 °C (18 °F); consequently, they are liquids over only a small temperature range.

elements are stable in nature .....

Which group is non-reactive (inert)?
In chemistry the Inert Group are the Noble Gases. So called be cause they do not react with anything. The gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.
Which period contains the most elements that are all gases at STP?
Periodic Group 18(0) has all gaseous elements in it, commonly known as the noble, or inert gases.
What are the inert gases or noble gases?
Noble gasses are different from other elements because they are stable (have either 8 or 0 valence electrons) and do not share, give, or take electrons (do not create bonds with other elements. And, they do not form compounds.
What is the inert gas that's lighter than air?
There are two problems with this question, one is that inert gas is more than one substance and the second is that so is air. Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon and other gases. The best way to determine its mass is to take an average between these components. Next, what's an inert gas? Strictly speaking, the inert gases are the noble gases, which are the elements in group 0 of the periodic table. They are helium, neon, krypton, radon, xenon and argon. Hang on..., isn't argon in air? Helium is the lightest inert gas and as anyone who has seen a helium balloon can testify, it is lighter than air. The further down group 0 you go, towards the likes of xenon and radon, the heavier they get. From krypton onwards, they are all heavier than air except.... ... except that all of the noble gases, or the inert gases, can be found in air, in very small amounts. So in a weird way, if you're asking if inert gases are heavier than air, you're asking if they're heavier than themselves. But to put it in the simplest terms, there is more than one inert gas. Helium can be considered an example of an inert gas that is lighter than air, whereas xenon can be considered an example of one that is heavier.
Can radon form an ion?
Radon not really can form an ion. This is because it is in the group 0, which is the inert/noble gases group. In this group all gases have a full octet which prevents them from reacting with other substances and so preventing them to have an ion. Group 1 has an ion of +1 as it has one electron in the valence shell while nothing such as +8 or -8 exists yet! Happ to help ;).
Which group is non-reactive (inert)?
In chemistry the Inert Group are the Noble Gases. So called be cause they do not react with anything. The gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.
What element is unreactant?
All the elements in the Inert Gases family (exc. Radon) are highly unreactive. The Inert Gases family occupies Group 18(0) of the Periodic Table. They each have 8 electrons in the outer shell. The Inert Gases Group contains;HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenonRADON
What are the modern groups on the periodic table?
group 1a , group 2a , transition elements , group 0 (inert gases)
What are Zero group elements?
The Group 0 elements are called the noble gases. These are the six gases that are almost completely inert. Since they do not lose or gain any electrons, their valence is 0.
Elements in group 18 are very unreactive they are said to be inert you call these the?
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
What periodic table group has elements that are all gases at stp?
Periodic Group 18(0) has all gaseous elements in it, commonly known as the noble, or inert gases.
What are elements that rarely combine with other elements called?
The Inert Gases of Group 0 rarely combine with other elements as they are (exc. Radon) extremely unreactive. The Inert Gases are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenon(Radon)
What element doesn't have reaction with element or compound?
All elements in the Group 0 - Inert Gases group (exc. Radon) are highly unreactive and so don't react with nearly any substance. Inert Gases; Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon (Radon)
What are the elements of group 0 called?
Group 0 elements are generally known as the "noble gases". These include Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon (the whole right hand column). Noble Gases are usually unreactive too.
Which period contains the most elements that are all gases at STP?
Periodic Group 18(0) has all gaseous elements in it, commonly known as the noble, or inert gases.
Which elements will not form bonds to other elements?
The elements in Group 0 - Inert Gases group are all highly unreactive and so don't combine with other elements.
What do not actively combine with other elements?
The Group 0 - Inert Gases group are all (exc. Radon) highly unreactive, and so don't chemcially combine with other elements.
