Noble Gases
noble gases, or inert gases they are the same thing and they are group 18 they have full valence electrons so they are unlikely to react with other elements
The elements least likely to react with other elements are the noble gases, chemically inert elements in group 8 of the periodic table and so cannot react with other elements. The noble gases are:- Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon Radon The metallic elements Gold and Tantalum are also very non reactive but it does react under very high pressure or temperature.
Argon is the least likely in the list to react with other elements, because argon is a noble gas and none of the other elements in the list is.
It usually reacts the same?Alkali metals all react with water to give a alkali metal hydroxide and hydrogen.I thought you wrote "How do elements in the same group (in the periodic table) usually react?"EDIT: Hmm.... family. Opps I read wrong again.All alkanes contain Carbon-Carbon single bonds.All alkanes combust to give either carbon dioxide and water or carbon monoxide and waterAll alkenes contains Carbon=Carbon double bondAll alkenes decolourises aqueous bromineAll alcohol oxidises to give a carboxylic acid.Lol, that's too many examples....So, yea.... they usually reacts the same too.........
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
Noble gases will never react with other elements because they have a full outer electron shell, making them extremely stable and nonreactive.
Noble gases or group 18 elements
elements are in the same group since they react similarly to other elements in that group.
All of them tend not to react with each other until you get lower down the group
Noble Gases
Group-18 elements least react with other elements. They are inert in nature. They are called noble gases.Elements in group 18 are less likely to react with any other elements. This group is made out of the noble gases. Its members are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn.
Group 18, the noble gases, are elements that hardly react with other elements. This is because they have their full complement of eight valence electrons.
Group 17 elements, also known as the halogens, are the p block elements that react to form halides. They readily react with other elements to form salts called halides, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium iodide (KI).
Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are so reactive that they are never found as uncombined elements in nature. They readily react with other elements to form compounds.
Nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements are inert. These nonmetals are called the noble gases and are in Group 18 (VIIIA) on the Periodic Table.
Group 1 and group 2 elements are reactive metals and react readily with water. They also react readily at high temperatures with oxygen. Over the millenia any free deposits would react to form compounds.
Generally, those are the elements in Group 18, called the noble gases.
