Highly reactive metals that easily combine with other elements are called alkali metals, like sodium and potassium. They react vigorously with water and oxygen.
Noble gases, such as helium and neon, typically do not combine chemically with other elements due to their stable electron configuration. This stability makes them unlikely to form compounds with other elements.
When two or more elements combine chemically, it is called a chemical compound. In a chemical compound, the elements are bonded together in specific ratios to form a new substance with unique properties.
Group 18, also called the noble gases, contains the elements that are nonreactive.
All elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
These metals are called alkaline earth metals.
Noble gases are not reactive. They are inert. That's why they are called noble gases. Just as the human nobility does not lower itself to associate with the lower classes, so do noble gases not combine with lesser elements. They remain aloof.
inertness, non-reactivity
Noble gases, such as helium and neon, typically do not combine chemically with other elements due to their stable electron configuration. This stability makes them unlikely to form compounds with other elements.
The Inert Gases of Group 0 rarely combine with other elements as they are (exc. Radon) extremely unreactive. The Inert Gases are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenon(Radon)

Elements in the second group have 2 outer shell electrons and also very reactive. What are they called?
They are in the s block. Metals of the 1st group.
They are in the s block. Metals of the 1st group.
The elements in the first group of the periodic table with one outer shell electron are called alkali metals. They are extremely reactive due to their tendency to lose that single electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Examples include lithium, sodium, and potassium.
Many chemical elements combine with oxygen; the reaction with oxygen is called oxydation.
When two or more elements combine chemically, it is called a chemical compound. In a chemical compound, the elements are bonded together in specific ratios to form a new substance with unique properties.
