Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions.

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.

Why cant noble gases mix with other elements?

!. Noble gases can be mixed with other gases. 2. Noble gases are unreactive (only a limited number of compounds are known today) because the valence electron shell is completely filled.

How is the electron arrangement in helium different from the other noble gases?

Helium has a unique electron arrangement compared to other noble gases because it has only two electrons, filling its first energy level and forming a stable duet. In contrast, other noble gases, such as neon and argon, have full outer electron shells with eight electrons, following the octet rule. This difference in electron configuration contributes to helium's distinct properties, such as its smaller atomic size and lower reactivity compared to the heavier noble gases.


Why are noble gases infinitely soluble in other noble gases?

Noble gases are infinitely soluble in other noble gases because they are non-reactive and have very weak intermolecular forces. This allows the noble gas atoms to mix together easily and uniformly, creating a homogeneous solution without any chemical reactions occurring.
