The noble gasses are unreactive because of the elctronic structure. On the outer shell of the noble gasses there is no electrons to be shared because it is full. a reaction is caused by an electron jumping from the outer shell of one element to the outer shell of the other.

Why are noble gasses called inert gasses?

With very few exceptions (you can make argon fluorides, but you have to work at it), the noble gases are nonreactive--they won't form compounds.


Is krypton reactive or nonreactive?

Non-reactive, along with all other noble gasses.


When elements are noble gases?

All of the noble gasses have full outer electron shells - rendering them extremely nonreactive. Their electron configuration is what places them in the group on the periodic table that we have designated "noble gases".


Which family on the periodic table does not react at all?

The noble gases family do not react with other elements since they have a full valence shell of electrons, making them stable and nonreactive.


What are the nobel gasses also called?

Noble gases are also called inert gases because they tend to be chemically nonreactive due to their stable electron configurations.


What is period vllla on the periodic table so chemically unreactive?

Group 8 contains the noble gasses. They are nonreactive because they have a completed shell of electrons. Other elements react to try to get an outer shell that contains 8 electrons, but the noble gasses already have that so they don't need to react.


What is the name of the group of nonreactive non metals that includes argon?

it is group 18 and is part of the non-metals.


What is the family of elemnts in nonreactive gases called?

True or false noble gases are inert gasses?

Noble gasses are historically known as inert gasses - so true


Where can you find noble gasses in nature?

Noble gases can be found in the atmosphere; the air on Earth is partly composed of the noble gasses.


Noble gases are nonreactive gaseous elements that are located in group?

Noble gasses are found in group number 8A or 18. There :)


Why are noble gas nonreactive?

Having the outer shell of electrons filled noble gases are very stable.
