Nonmetals increase in reactivity from left to right because nonmetals on the right have more valence electrons. They need to gain fewer electrons to have a full outer shell. However, this trend only continues until group 17, because the noble gases already have a full outer shell. Therefore, their reactivity is the least of all the elements.

∙ 14y agoXenon's valence electrons further away from the nucleus than those of helium. Because of other electron orbitals between, they are also repelled away from it, and this helps another element (e.g. fluorine) pull the electrons away and form bonds.

What element is a non reactive noble gas?
Noble gases include Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, Helium, and ununoctium.
What element is a reactive gas?
Noble gases include Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, Helium, and ununoctium.
Where does xenon occur naturally?
Xenon occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It is found as a mixture of gases along with other noble gases.
What element is a non reactive gas?
Noble gases include Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, Helium, and ununoctium.
Why are metals more reactive than noble gases?
Noble gases are generally chemically inert, because they have completely filled valence orbitals. However, the nucleii of the heavier ones have a weaker electromagnetic 'hold' on the electrons of their outer shells. This means extremely powerful oxidising agents can react with the heavier noble gases, such as Platinum hexafluoride reacting with Xenon to form Xenon hexafluoroplatinate.
