Best Answer

Noble gases have complete octet / duptet (in case of Helium) which makes them inert to bond making.

They have a full outer shell, so thus do not have to give or take an electron, and are the most stable because all atoms want a full outer shell, and these atoms in group 8 all have a full outer shell.

What familyof coumpounds is most likely to be relatively unreactive?

The "Noble gases" of group VIII are unreactive, because they are stable, due to their electron arrangements. If an atom has a full outer shell, it is "happy" and will not bond with other atoms.


Which group of elements is the most chemically stable?

The Noble Gases Group are called 'noble' because they don't willingly react with anything. The Noble Gases are Group (or Family) 18, the column on the far right side of the periodic chart.
