It can be chemically inactive if the outer electron shell, or ring, has 8 electrons on it. For example, most of the noble gases have 8 electrons on the outer electron shell, such as neon.
I think...
It really is when the outer shell of the atom is complete:
In case of the first shell it would need 2electrons to be complete.
In case of the second shell it would need 8 electrons to be complete.
In case of the third shell it would need 18 electrons to be complete.
In case of the fourth shell it would need 32 electrons to be complete.
that's what I think it is. Hope it's useful ! :)
Helium would be the element that fits this description. It has a high ionization energy, meaning it requires a lot of energy to remove an electron, and tends to be chemically inactive because its outer electron shell is full.
yes..
The noble gas group because their outermost shell of electrons is completely full unlike the other groups.
Neon is the most chemically stable of the three elements because it has a complete outer electron shell, making it inert and unlikely to react with other elements. Sodium readily reacts with other elements to achieve a stable electron configuration, while oxygen is also reactive but less so than sodium.
The standard state, or reference state, of an element is defined as its thermodynamically most stable state at 1 bar at a given temperature (typically at 298.15 K). In thermochemistry, an element is defined to have an enthalpy of formation of zero in its standard state. For example, the reference state for carbon is graphite, because it is more stable than the other allotropes.

Fluorine is sometimes called the hungry wolf of the periodic table because it is the most reactive element.
No, the opposite of that.
Gases with eight valence electrons.
False (Hydrogen has the first position, Helium is the most stable)
Zn, because it is the most electronegative.
