Because they are noble gasses. All of the noble gasses have a full valence shell, meaning that they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons.

Any element, which is going to be a gas, in the 18th column of the Periodic Table are noble, or inert.

What are the 3 lightest members of the noble gases?

Helium, neon, and argon are the three lightest members of the noble gases.


Why other elements are like neon and argon nonreactive?

Elements like neon and argon are nonreactive because they have stable electron configurations with full outer electron shells. This makes them very unwilling to gain, lose, or share electrons with other atoms, leading to their inert nature.


Is helium argon krypton or neon a weaker Van der Waals force?

Helium has the weakest Van der Waals forces among these noble gases. This is because helium is a monatomic gas, meaning it has only one atom per molecule, resulting in weaker Van der Waals interactions compared to larger noble gases like argon, krypton, and neon.

What are element neon's friends on the periodic table?

Neon is located in Group 18 of the periodic table, known as the noble gases. Its friends include helium, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These elements share similar chemical properties in that they are nonreactive and have a full outer electron shell.


How do helium argon and neon differ?

Helium, argon, and neon are noble gases with different atomic numbers: helium (2), neon (10), and argon (18). They vary in terms of their densities, boiling points, and chemical reactivity. Neon has the lowest boiling point and argon has the highest atomic weight among the three.
