How are noble gases different from all other elements?

Answer 1

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 donot form compounds under normal conditions.

Other elements have incomplete energy levels and are generally reactive.

Answer 2

Noble gases are inert meaning that they are chemically unreactive. This is because the noble gases' valence shells are full of electrons, impeding upon their ability to bond and react with other atoms/molecules.

Answer 3

Noble gases are unique because they have a full outer valence shell of electrons, making them highly stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. In contrast, most other elements have incomplete outer electron shells and tend to react with other elements to achieve a full outer shell. This stability of noble gases is why they are often referred to as inert gases.

Answer 4

Noble gases differ because they obtain a full valence electrons of 8 on the outer shell. OCTET RULE: states that every element aspires to be a noble gas and have a full valence level.

Answer 5

Noble gases differ because they obtain a full valence electrons of 8 on the outer shell. OCTET RULE: states that every element aspires to be a noble gas and have a full valence level.
