What else can I help you with?
Noble gases are inert gases.?
yup. they've got a complete outer shell of electrons so they cannot react.
What element is a noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell?
Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet. Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet.
Elements react with other elements based on the number of what in their outer shell?
Elements react with other elements based on the number of electrons in their outer shell, also known as valence electrons. Elements are most stable when their outer shell is full, so they will either gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell.
Do noble gases have a maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
Yes they do, because, for example, neon has 2 electrons in its inner shell and 8 on its outer shell; these shells are both full. Helium, the lightest of the noble gases, has only 2 electrons, but that completes it only shell. All the other noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, which is a stable arrangement.
How many electrons does it take to fill the outer shell to become like a noble gas?
For most elements, a complete outer shell, like that of a noble gas, has eight electrons. There are exceptions. Helium, which is the most noble of the noble gases, has only two electrons in its outer shell. A few other light elements only need two (and hydrogen can also exist with no electrons at all, in the form of a naked proton, which is also a form of completion for the outer shell).
Does oxygen react with noble gases?
No! oxygen does not react with a noble gas because a noble gas does not want any electrons. This means, it's outer shell or valence shell is filled with electrons.
Do noble shells have a full outer shell of electrons?
Every noble gas does have an outer shell. That's why they don't want to react with any other element. This is because they don't want to gain or lose any electrons. Because they have a full outer shell.
Does sodium react with xenon?
No. Xenon doesn't react, it's a noble gas (meaning it has a full outer shell of valence electrons).
What element is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell?
Helium is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell. It has only two electrons in its outer shell.

How many electrons are in the outer shell of Ar?
Argon has eight valence (outer) shell electrons. It is a Noble Gas so its valence shell is full (Octet Rule).
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.
Elements react with other elements based on the number of what in their outer shell?
Elements react with other elements based on the number of electrons in their outer shell, also known as valence electrons. Elements are most stable when their outer shell is full, so they will either gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell.
Why do noble gases not normally form compounds?
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.
Do noble gases have a maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
