There are six noble gases: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). 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.
A full outer shell of electrons typically results in chemical stability for an atom. This corresponds to 8 valence electrons for most atoms (except hydrogen and helium, which only need 2 valence electrons for stability).
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (or outermost energy level or outermost orbital) in an atom. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons. But helium (a noble gas) has only 2 valence electrons.
Valence electrons are responsible for chemical boding.
8 valence electrons are there in in neon's family .They are stable in nature.
How many valence electrons do transition elements have?
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).

Yes, they are. The noble gases (group 18) on the periodic table of elements are unreactive because they have 8 electrons on their outer shell (valence electrons) and therefore they are very stable. Due to this stability, they will rarely react with any other chemical.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (or outermost energy level or outermost orbital) in an atom. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons. But helium (a noble gas) has only 2 valence electrons.
Group 18 contains eight valence electrons, namely the noble gases.
Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.
All elements in the same A group will have the same number of valence electrons.
Valence electrons are responsible for chemical boding.
