Since the valance (outer) electron shell is full, it doesn't need other electrons, which is why elements react in the first place.

Where do the noble gases get their name?

These gases generally dont react with any other elements and hence are considered 'noble'.


Are noble gas flamable'?

How do the physical and chemical properties of the haogens compare with those of the noble gases?

noble gases really are just that: noble. they dont react to things easily. halogens on the other hand, do react extremely easily. that is one of the main differences between the two.


Is oxyegen a noble gas?

noble gases are those gases which dont react with anything. they are also called inert gases. oxygen is not one of them because it does react; infact, all the burning processes cant take place without oxygen.


Why dont noble gases form compounds?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions.


Why dont noble gases need to make compoundswith other elements?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals (octet of electrons), they are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive).


Why dont the noble gases react?

Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them highly stable and unreactive. Due to their configuration, they do not typically gain or lose electrons to form bonds with other elements. This stability is why noble gases are often found in their elemental form in nature.


Why dont the noble gases form compounds easily?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.


Why are the noble gases not included on the table of electronegativities?

they already have full shells so they dont tend to form compounds


Why dont noble gases react readily with other elements?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.


Which elements have valence electrons?

all of them - even Inert Gases - they just dont react because they have a stable number of them.


Do noble gases tend to form cations?

Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.
