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

Which element is a noble gas that is unreactive?

Helium, Neon, Xenon, Krypton, Radon, and Argon.


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 most unreactive family of gases?

The noble gases are the most unreactive family of gases. They have a full outer electron shell, making them very stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. This includes gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.


Which group of elements will never react with other elements and what is the name of that group?

Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, will never react with other elements. They have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive.


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.


Using neon as an example explain why noble gases are unreactive?

Noble gases like neon have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and not needing to gain, lose, or share electrons with other atoms to achieve a stable configuration. This makes them unreactive because they do not easily form chemical bonds with other elements.


Does neon oxidize?

No. Neon is a noble gas and is unreactive.


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


Why neon and helium are called noble gases?

Neon and helium are called noble gases because they are very stable and do not easily react with other elements to form compounds. This stability is similar to the behavior of noble or "noble-minded" individuals who are not easily influenced by others.


What is an atom that doesn't hang on to other atoms?

A noble gas atom is an example of an atom that typically does not form bonds with other atoms. Noble gases have full valence electron shells, making them stable and unreactive.


What are the gasses in the periodic table that are unreactive?

The noble gases are extremely stable and have an octet (eight electrons in their outer shell with the exception of helium that has two). The far right group on the periodic table contains the noble gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, etc.


List the elements that belong to the noble family?

The noble gases belong to the noble family. These include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are inert gases that have a full valence shell of electrons, making them stable and unreactive.
