Which family is the most stable elements?

The noble gases (aka inert gases) are the most stable elements.


What are examples of stable elements?

Noble/inert gases


Are the noble gases very stable and have low reactivity?

Yes. They are also referred to as the inert gases.


Why were the noble gases at one time called the inert gases?

Noble gases are gases and 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 called inert gases.


Noble gases are chemically?

Noble gases are chemically inert. They have completely filled orbitals, hence are generally non-reactive (or chemically inert).


Which group of the periodic table do exceptionally inert gases belong and why are they inert?

group 18 elements. they are inert because they have completely filled orbitals and and stable or chemically inert.


Why are noble gases also called inert gases?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements) and are known as inert gases.


What are Helium and neon classified as on the Periodic table?

these gases are the noble gases or inert gases. They are non reactive and have stable valence electrons


What is a property of noble gases as a result of their stable electon configuration?

they are generally chemically inert


Why is a noble gas inert?

Noble gases have a stable electron configuration. So they are less reactive.


Does noble gases react high or low?

Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals and are hence stable or chemically inert.


What is the number of the group in which the elements have a filled outer energy level and are stable?

Group 18 aka the Noble Gases / Inert Gases.
