Best Answer

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration.

What group is the noble gas in?

Group-18 belongs to noble gases. The elements of this group are stable.


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.


Which group of elements is very stable and nonreactive?

The class of noble gases (Helium, Neon etc. in group 18) There are two groups that come to mind when talking stability: the noble gases and the coinage metals. The noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn) are very chemically stable and do not readily form compounds. Note that although Radon is chemically stable, it's not stable from a nuclear standpoint and will decay (but it is not reactive in the chemical sense). The coinage metals (such as gold, silver, and copper) are very unreactive. Note that the further an element is from Au on the periodic table, the more reactive it is (obviously the Noble gases do not follow this trend).


What group of elements has a stable amount of electrons in their outer level?

noble gases


What is the number of the group in which the elements have a filled outer energy level and are stable?

Group 18 aka the Noble Gases / Inert Gases.


What is the group number for elements that have a stable number of electron spin their outer energy level?

The inert or noble gases have a stable full outer shell of electrons which is why they are so unreactive.


What group is stable and will not bond?

Noble Gases are stable due to the "octet" rule (they have as many electrons as they can hold) and will not bond.


What column in the periodic chart contains the atoms with an ideal electron configuration?

I think you mean the Ideal or Noble gases. Column 18 , or '8' , in 'old money'.
