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

Is Ne reactive?

Neon is a noble gas, a nonreactive chemical element. Only some unstable compounds are known.


Is argon a nonmetal or a metal?

Argon is a nonmetal. It is a noble gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Argon is typically inert and nonreactive with other elements.


Is incomplete number of electrons is a characteristic of noble gas?

No. The noble gases are largely nonreactive because their outermost energy levels are complete, making them stable by themselves.


What element is nonreactive and discovered as a pure element?

Helium is a nonreactive element that was discovered as a pure element. It is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive with other elements.


Does neon form salt?

Neon is a chemically inert gas, a noble gas, which means it is nonreactive and does not form any compounds. Neon therefore cannot form salts.


What element is nonreactive but only has 2 valence electrons?

The element that fits this description is helium. Helium is a noble gas with a full outer shell of 2 electrons, making it stable and nonreactive under normal conditions.
