Do noble gases have valence shells?
Yes they have eight electrons in their valence shells. This is why they are not reactive. All elements have valence shells.
What is a representative element with eight electrons in its valence shells is called?
Octet
What chracterizes the electron configuration of noble gases?
They have completely filled shells, with eight valence electrons.
Why are menbers in group 8a inert?
They have eight valence electrons, which means that all of its outer shells are full.
Why are noble gases insert?
They have completely filled shells, with eight valence electrons (stable) and hence are inert.
What predicts that atoms will react with each other to become more stable by filling their valence shells with eight electrons?
the octet rule does
How many valence electrons are present in noble gases?
Noble gases do not like giving up electrons. There are 2 electrons in the outer shell of helium and 8 electrons in the outer shell of the other noble gases (group 18 of the periodic table), representing filled shells.
Does krypton have 8 valence electrons?
Yes, krypton has eight valence electrons.
How valence electrons does helium have?
Helium has two valence electrons. It is the only noble gas not to have eight valence electrons. Helium has the electronic configuration 1s2.The Noble gases have eight valence electrons in their outer shell.
Number of valence electrons in xenon?
Xenon has 8 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons of an atom does xenon have?
26
How many valence electrons do noble gases have?
Inert gases have 8 valence electrons. This is why they are inert, they have a complete octet formed of electrons and are in their lowest energy configuration.
