elements on group 8 or 0, ie the Noble Gases, all have full outermost electron shells. This means they do not need to lose or gain electrons in reactions in order to become stable, and so they do not react with many other elements

Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inert (they generally do not form bonds).
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe noble gases have an octet (8) number of valence electrons in their outermost energy level. Because of having an already stable number of electrons they tend to be unreactive.

Are noble gases reactive or unreactive?
Unreactive
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.
Explain why noble gases are unreactive in terms of electron shells?
Noble gases are unreactive because their outermost shell, the valence shell, has a full set of eight electrons.
Which element is a noble gas that is unreactive?
Helium, Neon, Xenon, Krypton, Radon, and Argon.
What don't the noble gases form?
Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.
How reactive argon is?
All of the noble gases are relatively unreactive

Are noble gases very unreactive gases?
Correct.
Why are noble gases very reactive?
Nobel gases are very unreactive.

Noble gases are unreactive because their outermost shell, the valence shell, has a full set of eight electrons.
Which element is a noble gas that is unreactive?
Helium, Neon, Xenon, Krypton, Radon, and Argon.
What is the meaning of noble gases in Periodic table Group VIIIA?
Noble gases are very unreactive chemical elements.
What don't the noble gases form?
Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.
What so unique about the six noble gases?
they are very unreactive
What rarely reacts in chemistry?
Noble gases are very unreactive.
What are unreactive nonmetals that do not react with other elements under normal conditions?
unreactive nonmetals are called noble gases
