Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).

Yes and because their valance shell is filled with eight electrons; an octet.

Are Noble gases most reactive element on the periodic table?

No. They are the least because their energy levels are full.


What elements are least reactive on the periodic table?

the noble gases are the least reactive(thats group 18) followed by group 14


What is the least reactive groups on the periodic table?

What are the highest and lowest reactive elements on the periodic table?

As you move left on the periodic table, the elements get more reactive and as you move down the periodic table. Using that thinking the most reactive elements are the Alkali Earth Metals (column 1) and the most reactive element is Francium. The least reactive are the noble gases in the last column- Helium, Neon, Argon etc..


The least active elements are the .?

Generally, the least reactive elements are the noble gases.


What category includes the least reactive of the elements on the periodic table?

Group 18 or Noble gases. As they have completely filled orbitals.


What are the least reactive element in the periodic table?

Noble gases are the least reactive elements in the periodic table because they have a full valence shell.The least reactive elements in the periodic table are the noble gases or sometimes the inert gases. These are the elements of Group 18, and they have full valence shells. They are not interested in loaning out or borrowning electrons, and are very stable.The gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon make up the inert gases. Wikipedia has a nice post on these interesting elements, and a link is provided.


What group of elements consists of non reactive non metals?

Non-reactive elements or compounds are called inert. This is a bit misleading, however - anything can be made to react given the right circumstances. The noble gases are about as close as you can get to truly inert, but even they will react under extreme conditions. >>M.T.<<


Which group has the least reactive elements?

Nobel gases.


What is the least reactive element in the group 2 of the periodic table of elements?

The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.


Are the least reactive metals easier to extract?

NO Gold and platinum are not revy reactive.


Where are the least reactive gases located on periodic table?

Least reactive gases are noble gases.They have complete electronic shell.Hence they do not have free electrons for reactions.One of the example is neon.
