Why noble gases are highly reactive?
Noble gases are not reactive. They are inert. That's why they are called noble gases. Just as the human nobility does not lower itself to associate with the lower classes, so do noble gases not combine with lesser elements. They remain aloof.
What group of the region shown on the periodic table contains mostly elements that are gases at room temperature?
The so-called noble or inert gases are in Group 18, the last group on the right of the periodic table of the elements.
Why are the elements helium argon and neon called inert gases?
As we all know that noble gases are also called INERT GASES, so the subgroup VIII of GROUP 'A' contains only noble gases and inert gases so helium and neon are also in VIII-A so they are inert gases.
How many electrons are present in the valence level for all noble gases except helium?
There are eight in all noble gases (except helium) because that forms a "full level" so that they are noble gases and not reactive.
What are the gases that are considered inactive?
They are called noble or inactive gases because they do not react with other elements under ordinary circumstances. They include helium, neon, argon, etc.
Why is a noble gas inert?
Noble gases have a stable electron configuration. So they are less reactive.
What is the main characteristic that all the noble gases have in common?
the noble gases have octet configuration ie they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell ,so they are stable
What so unique about the six noble gases?
they are very unreactive
What group of the periodic table are helium and neon in?
They belong to group 8A, more commonly referred to as the "noble gases." These gases are so named because they are extremelynonreactive,referring to nobility's preference for not dealing with any of the lower classes.
What makes noble gases noble?
The so-called noble gases have the outer electron shell full, with 8 electrons; this structure lead to a very low chemical reactivity but now they are not considered as inert elements.
What happens when a noble gas loses an electron?
It becomes unstable, so noble gases will not lose or gain electron
Are noble gas flamable'?
if u put fire by it maby I dont really know, do you?
