∙ 10y agoYes, neon (Ne) is unreactive as it is a noble gas. Its electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p6, and we can see that the outer shell electrons are fully filled. This it has the stable octet structure and has no tendency to gain/lose electrons, which explains its stability and unreactivity.

∙ 13y agoNeon is a noble gas and the nobel gasses have a full outer shell of electrons therefor not needing to lose or gain any electrons.

∙ 12y agoBecause it is a noble gas and it has a full octet so there is no need to get an electron.

Which element is a noble gas that is unreactive?
Helium, Neon, Xenon, Krypton, Radon, and Argon.
Why neon and helium are called noble gases?
Helium and neon have completely filled valence orbitals. The are stable and do not react with other elements. Hence they are considered to be novel or noble.
Using neon as an example explain why noble gases are unreactive?
he outer shell for electrons is full
Most unreactive group in the piriodic table?
The noble gases are the most stable unreactive elements on the periodic table, they are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon
Does neon oxide exist?
No. Neon is a noble gas and is unreactive.
Which element is a noble gas that is unreactive?
Helium, Neon, Xenon, Krypton, Radon, and Argon.
Why neon and helium are called noble gases?
Helium and neon have completely filled valence orbitals. The are stable and do not react with other elements. Hence they are considered to be novel or noble.
What is the family name of neon?
The Noble gases, these are unreactive elements which exist as single atoms due to them having a full outer shell of electrons.

The noble gases are the most stable unreactive elements on the periodic table, they are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon
Does neon oxidize?
No. Neon is a noble gas and is unreactive.
How many electrons does neon have in its outer shell?
Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.
What elements are almost completely unreactive with other elements?
The elements in group 8 - the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon) - are completely unreactive, as they have a complete outermost energy level ie. a perfect electron configuration.
Does neon oxide exist?
No. Neon is a noble gas and is unreactive.
Is argon an unreactive gas?
Yes, Argon (Ar) is an non reactive gas. It, along with the other gases of group 8 such as Xenon (Xe) and Neon (Ne), are also known as the noble gases.
Is ununoctium a noble gas?
Yes. On the periodic table, it is labeled under the noble gases because all of its energy shells of electrons are completely filled up to make it unreactive like the other noble gases, helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
Is neon metal?
No. Neon (symbol Ne, atomic number 10) is an inert gas. Inert gases are also known as rare gases or noble gases and are generally unreactive due to a full outer electron shell.
