Their shells are always full (unless something wacky happens). This is why they are so unreactive.

What are noble gases famous for?

Being extremely stable. Noble gases have full valence shells.


Why noble gasses are not active?

Noble gases are not active because of their outer shells. The outer shells of these gases are full of 8 valence electrons, which make them stable and inert.


Do noble gases readily share their valence electrons?

I don't think noble gasses have valence electrons. They are noble because all their shells are full which makes them not as reactive.


What is noble gases used for?

Not much. Noble gases have full valence shells, or full outermost shells, so they don't tend to bond with many other elements. They are also the most stable of all the element families.


What is the number of unpaired electrons elements in noble gas?

There are no unpaired electrons. All electron shells are filled; this is the reason they are called the noble gases.


What makes neon an inert gas?

Noble gases (such as neon) have full valence electron shells (8 electrons).


Why don't the noble glass tend to form chemical bonds?

The noble gases are unreactive because their valence shells are full, making them stable.


What is the group that are made up of nonreactive compounds and all their valence shells are full?

The noble gases, group 18 or group zero. The valence shells are full for He and Ne. the reat have ns2np6 configurations which are obviously not full but provide great stability.


Are noble gases valence shells full of electrons.?

Yes, they're filled up with 8 electrons except for Helium which as only 2 valence electrons


What element would have a full valence shell on the periodic table?

The noble gases helium and neon are the only elements with completely full outer shells.


Why is the noble gases the most stable?

Their valence shells are completely full, so they are least likely to be reactive and are thus most stable.


What are the least reactive that have full valence shells?

Inert gases
