These elements, known as the alkali metals (group 1A) and alkaline earth metals (group 2A), are those in which the outer-shell s orbitals are being filled. On the right is a block of six columns. These are the elements in which the outermost p orbitals are being filled.
noble gases.
Group 18 or the noble gases.
Elements react in order to gain a stable electronic configuration, but the group 8 elements already have this, as their outer shells are already filled with electrons. Therefore they have no need to react with anything else, and that is why they are unreactive.
inner transition elements are those who have their last 3 shells incompletely filled. The f block elements have their last 3 shells incompletly filled . That is why they are also called as inner transition elements. what different between inner transition and outer transition elements
There are two elements which can have a filled outer electron shell with only two electrons, those being the first two elements on the periodic table: hydrogen and helium. Their outer shell is the frist shell, principal quantum number 1. Also note that Hydrogen can also achieve a stable electron configuration with no electrons, in which case it consists of a single, naked proton.
noble gases.
true
If all the electron orbitals are filled then the atom is inert. It will not chemically react with anything. If an atom has empty spaces in the outer orbit, it will react with other elements. Electrons from other elements can share positions in the outer orbits.
inner transition elements are those who have their last 3 shells incompletely filled. The f block elements have their last 3 shells incompletly filled . That is why they are also called as inner transition elements. what different between inner transition and outer transition elements
The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.
Group 18 or the noble gases.
This is the group 18, noble gases.
Not very well. All of the gases on the right side of the periodic table of elements have full electron outer rings
Elements react in order to gain a stable electronic configuration, but the group 8 elements already have this, as their outer shells are already filled with electrons. Therefore they have no need to react with anything else, and that is why they are unreactive.
This answer is True!
Group 18 aka the Noble Gases / Inert Gases.
Its outer shell is filled with electrons.
