O is the symbol for Oxygen, which is not a noble gas.


No, Oxygen (O) is in group 6 and the noble gases (or inert gases) are in group 8.

oxygen is not a noble gas because in order to become a noble gas it is necessary to have a completely filled outermost shell. as oxygen has only 6 electrons in its outermost shell it is not a noble gas because noble gases have 8 electrons which completely fill the outermost shell
