Why do atoms of non-metals form anions?
Non metals tend to be at the Right Hand Side of the periodic table. They therefore tend to need to GAIN electrons to get a stable octet-noble gas configuration. Gaining electrons mean they become anions. The reverse is true for metals.
What is the greatest noble gas?
It depends on what you mean by great. If you mean most massive, then radon has the biggest naturally occurring ones. ( However element 118 has been made artificially). If you mean the most common, then it is argon.
What are the least active elements in the periodic table?
its the noble gases that are the least reactive group among the elements; and they occupy the left most group i.e. 18th group in the Periodic Table.
What column in the periodic chart contains the atoms with an ideal electron configuration?
The column in the periodic table that contains atoms with an ideal electron configuration is the noble gases group (Group 18). These atoms have a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable and less likely to react with other elements.
What group on the periodic table contains the most nonreactive nonmetals?
The noble gases group on the periodic table contains the most nonreactive nonmetals. This group includes elements such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, which have a full valence shell of electrons and are therefore stable and unreactive.
What does the term noble mean when referring to noble metal and noble gases?

What do 'noble metals' and 'noble gases' mean?
Noble metals: platinum, iridium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, ruthenium, silver, goldNoble gases: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radonNoble in this case has the significance of with low chemical reactivity.
What does the term noble mean in noble metals and noble gases?
There are no "noble metals". The "noble" connotation for "noble gas" is that in society, the "noble" people don't interact with the average people. "Noble" or inert gases do not take part in any regular chemical reactions. The individual atoms don't form elements or compounds.
What does the term noble mean when referring to noble metals and noble gasses?
They generally do not react with other elements. In other words, they're "too good" to associate with anything else. When discussing metals, it also means that they don't corrode (i.e. they don't oxidize). Noble metals such as gold and platinum are considered more valuable than metals such as silver, which slowly tarnishes.
What does noble gasses mean?
Noble gases have completely filled octet. They are stable.
What do you mean by noble metals?
The noble metals are a group of metals that resist oxidation and corrosion in moist air. They are the opposite of the base metals, which more readily oxidize and corrode. Some of the noble metals are gold, platinum, and iridium. Aside from being corrosion resistant, they are also very expensive.
What does gass mean?
Noble gases have completely filled octet. They are stable.
What are the magnificent gases and lovely liquids?
By "Magnificent gases," I believe you mean the Noble gases. They are:-He-Ne-Ar-Kr-Xe-Rn
Are inert gases and royal gases the same?
'Royal gas' is not a term used in chemistry. Perhaps you mean "noble gas", if so yes "inert gas" and "noble gas" often mean the same thing. However, oxides and fluorides of some of the "noble gasses " do exist, it might be best to think of them as "noble" rather than "inert". Xe, forms oxides.
What does NG mean?
May be it's an abbreviation from "noble gases" ...
What compares alkali metals halogens and noble gases with respect to position in the periodic table the ability to react with other metals yes or non the number of electrons in the outer orbit?
Alkali metals are positioned to the far left in the periodic table. They react with hydrogen and oxygen(no they don't react with metals) and they have one electron in the outermost orbit.Halogens are positioned next to the noble gases in the periodic table. They react with nonmetals (no they don't react with metals) and they have seven electrons in the outermost orbit.Noble gases are positioned to the far to the right or last column in the periodic table. They never react with metals (no they don't react with metals) and they have 0 electron in the outermost orbit because they are very unreactive, which mean they are neutral (0/canceled).***Bold Words Important Keys for the Words***(Answers are found in page #110, 111, and 112 in the Grade 9 Nelson Science Textbook for Ontario, and also use the modern periodic table as your guide.)
