Elements react in order to gain a stable electronic configuration, but the group 8 elements already have this, as their outer shells are already filled with electrons. Therefore they have no need to react with anything else, and that is why they are unreactive.

Group 0 elements a.k.a noble gases are unreactive because the have a fully filled valence outer shell hence they do not readily bond with other atoms through a chemical reaction.

Why don't group 0 elements react?
Because they are highly unreactive
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 group of elements does element xenon belong?
Xenon belongs to Group 0 - Inert Gases on the Periodic Table. These are highly unreactive elements and are situated on the right hand side of the Periodic Table.
What is the element that is not likely to react with another element?
There are several elements that will not react with any other elements. These elements are called the noble gases. They are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe) and Radon (Rn). P.S. Although radon will not react with any other elements, it is radioactive.
Are all elements in group 0 unreactive?
no under special conditions xenon forms compounds such as XeF2, XeF4, XeOF4 , XeF6 etc
Why don't group 0 elements react?
Because they are highly unreactive
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 are elements that don't react rapidly with other elements called?
stable or unreactive elements. and If you are looking for the group, The Noble Gases are the most unreactive group of elements.
What is the name of the group with most unreactive elements?
Noble gases (or group 18 elements)
What are the oxidation states of group 18 elements?
0, neither positive or negative. They are the noble gases, and as such, very unreactive
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.
What group of elements on the periodic chart are unreactive?
group 8, the noble gasses.
What group of elements does element xenon belong?
Xenon belongs to Group 0 - Inert Gases on the Periodic Table. These are highly unreactive elements and are situated on the right hand side of the Periodic Table.
What is the element that is not likely to react with another element?
There are several elements that will not react with any other elements. These elements are called the noble gases. They are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe) and Radon (Rn). P.S. Although radon will not react with any other elements, it is radioactive.
Where in the periodic table find the the most unreactive elements?
The most unreactive elements, called the noble gases, are found in the group 8 of the period table.
Are all elements in group 0 unreactive?
no under special conditions xenon forms compounds such as XeF2, XeF4, XeOF4 , XeF6 etc
What elements do not like to bond with other elements?
Any of the elements in Group 0 of the Periodic Table (exc. Radon) are highly unreactive and so, won't react with any elements. They are also known as the inert gases.
