Noble gases are commonly used in lighting because of their lack of chemical reactivity. Yet even better known is helium's use in balloons because it is lighter (less dense) that the surrounding air it causes the balloon to rise. Helium is sometimes used to improve the ease of breathing of Asthma sufferers. Xenon is used as an anesthetic because it can be moved quickly from the body resulting in faster recovery. Another noble gas, argon, is considered the best option for use as a dry-suit inflation gas for Scuba diving. Noble gases are being used more and more like in blimps or crisp packets.

What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?
The Group 18 elements are called the noble gases or sometimes inert gases. Wikipedia has information on the noble gases, and a link is provided.
What is group 18 on the periodic table known as?
Noble Gas if you are including Noble gases in your groups
What family do helium and argon belong to?
Noble gases. Also known as Group Zero and inert gases.
The elements that do not ordinarily form compounds are?
Noble gases do not normally form compounds.
What is the Family name for argon?
The group that argon belongs to is the Noble Gases, otherwise known as the inert gases. However, Noble gases is the more acceptable term nowadays because the description inert implies that they cannot be reacted with. These Noble Gases such as argon can be reacted with, but they need incredibly extreme conditions to do such.
What is the best element known of the inert gases?
the last group or the 18th group of the table the helium group known as noble gases are known as inert gases
Which group in the periodic table are known as noble gases?
group 18 elements are known as noble gases.
Noble gases usually exist as what?
Noble gases exist in the nature as gases; only a small number of (all man made) compounds of noble gases are known.
Are noble gases known for forming salts?
The number of compounds of noble gases is very low; salts derived from xenon are known.
What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?
The Group 18 elements are called the noble gases or sometimes inert gases. Wikipedia has information on the noble gases, and a link is provided.
What are noble gases also known as?
Inert gases / group 18 elements
Elements that do not typically react with other elements are known as?
Elements in the Periodic Table that are not reactive are called the Noble Gases.
What are some other names for noble?
Noble gases are also known as, 1- inert gases 2- rare gases 3- monoatomic gases 4- zero group elements.
Why cant noble gases mix with other elements?
!. Noble gases can be mixed with other gases. 2. Noble gases are unreactive (only a limited number of compounds are known today) because the valence electron shell is completely filled.
What is group 18 on the periodic table known as?
Noble Gas if you are including Noble gases in your groups
Which group in the periodic table is known as the noble gases?
The six noble gases are found in group 18 of the periodic table.
Rare or inert gases are more commonly know as what?
The rare or inert gases are more commonly known as the noble gases.
