The arrangement of chemical elements in groups and periods is determined by the periodicity of the chemical properties. In the case of the transition state elements, there are some smaller groups because of the way the incomplete inner electron shells are filled.

Which element in group VIII are very stable?

all elements in group 8 are very stable as they have 8 electrons in their outermost electron shell, satisfying the octet rule. They are very stable and are called noble gas. they exist in a monoatomic gas.


Are the group 8 elements intert?

The naturally-occurring group 8 elements (helium, neon, argon, and kyrpton) are not completely inert, but they are more nearly so than any other group.


What group of elements on the periodic chart are unreactive?

group 8, the noble gasses.


Is group 8 the same as group 0?

Both terms are acceptable due to the fact that eight electrons exist in the outermost shell of all elements in the group. Therefore, one could say that this group has 8 electrons in the outermost shell or that there are no electrons in the outermost shell - as the structure is stable! It is the perspective of a person.


What special names are given to the group you group vii and group viii elements?

group 7 - halogens group 8 - noble gases


What are the elements in group eight of the periodic table?

The elements in group 8 of the periodic table are called noble gases. They have similar properties such as being odourless, colourless and have very low reactivity. The noble gases have full valence electron shells which give them a very big ionization energy.


How many valence electrons does group 8 have?

Group 8 elements, also known as the noble gases, have 8 valence electrons. This is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the outer shell of an atom, giving them stability and low reactivity.


What is different about the group 18 elements?

Group 19 elements have 8 valence electrons (obey octet rule) and are hence stable.


What is method of calculating a valency of an element?

The valency of first four main group elements is equal to their group numbers but elements from Group 5 to 8 have two valencies one equal to group number and second is obtained by subtracting group number from 8.


How many elements are there in the third period of the periodic table?

There are 8 elements in the third period of periodic table. The elements belong to group-1,2,13,14,15,16,17 and 18


What is the name given to the elements in group 8?

=NOBLE GASES=


Which group of elements from the periodic table is categorized as chemically insert?

You mean inert. It's group 18, the noble gases. They don't typically react with any other elements because they have a very stable arrangement of 8 electrons in the outer energy level.
