because it is a non metal so therefore it wouldn't react with anything
Very reactive metals - from group 1 and 2 of the periodic table - can react with water.
Noble Gases (also known as Group 0 or Group 8)
It is in Group O or Group 8. Also known as noble gas, they do not react with other elements as they do not have to react to get a stable configuration.
A group of eight anything is called an "octet".
Group 8 on the periodic table is referred to as the Noble gases because they all have complete electron shells meaning it is very unlikely for them to react with other substances.
In chemistry the Inert Group are the Noble Gases. So called be cause they do not react with anything. The gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.
This is basic AS chemistry. Neon is in the group of the periodic table known as the noble gases. These elements are inert which means they don't react. Therefore neon does not have any compounds as it is unable to react with anything.
YES.If it is in group 1 it will be the most reactive metal and would react.But if it is in group 8
The atoms of the elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. This means that they react with other elements in a similar way. For example group 1. All the atoms in group 1 react with water and oxygen, so they have to be kept in paraffin-oil. Another example is group 18. They don't react with anything. The atoms of the same row have the same electron shells.
The alkali metals in group 1 react by losing one electron.
Potassium would strongly react with the elements in group 17 and group 16.
All of them tend not to react with each other until you get lower down the group
