Inert gases
What else can I help you with?
Are Noble gases most reactive element on the periodic table?
No. They are the least because their energy levels are full.
Does noble gases have full valence shells?
Yes, noble gases have full valence shells, which is why they are stable and generally do not react with other elements. Their electron configurations result in a complete octet of electrons in their outer shell.
If an element is a gas and does not conduct electricity or heat what possible number of valence electrons does an atom of it have?
An atom that is a gas, does not conduct electricity or heat, likely has 8 valence electrons. This suggests it belongs to the noble gas group in the periodic table, characterized by having full valence shells and being non-reactive.
What is the least reactive substance known to man?
Noble gases like helium, neon, and argon are considered the least reactive substances known to man. They have full outer electron shells which makes them very stable and unreactive under normal conditions.
What is the least reactive groups on the periodic table?
Noble gases are least reactive because they have a full shell
What are the least reactive nonmetals that ave full valence shells?
The Nobel gasses. Generally inert.
Why is the noble gases the most stable?
Their valence shells are completely full, so they are least likely to be reactive and are thus most stable.
Are Noble gases most reactive element on the periodic table?
No. They are the least because their energy levels are full.
Do noble gases readily share their valence electrons?
I don't think noble gasses have valence electrons. They are noble because all their shells are full which makes them not as reactive.
Is noble gases the least reactive elements on the periodic table?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).
Is the element reactive or satble how do you know?
If the element has a full valence shell, such as the noble gases, then it is unreactive. It the element is missing few valence electrons of has few valence electrons, then the element is very reactive, such as the sodium.
What is the group that are made up of nonreactive compounds and all their valence shells are full?
The noble gases, group 18 or group zero. The valence shells are full for He and Ne. the reat have ns2np6 configurations which are obviously not full but provide great stability.
What determines if an atom is inert or reactive?
The number of valence electrons in an atom determines if it is inert or reactive. Inert atoms have a full outer electron shell and are stable, while reactive atoms have incomplete outer electron shells and tend to react with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Does noble gases have full valence shells?
Yes, noble gases have full valence shells, which is why they are stable and generally do not react with other elements. Their electron configurations result in a complete octet of electrons in their outer shell.
Why do atoms of different elements bond together?
They like to have full valence shells.
If an element is a gas and does not conduct electricity or heat what possible number of valence electrons does an atom of it have?
An atom that is a gas, does not conduct electricity or heat, likely has 8 valence electrons. This suggests it belongs to the noble gas group in the periodic table, characterized by having full valence shells and being non-reactive.
What are the least reactive element in the periodic table?
Noble gases are the least reactive elements in the periodic table because they have a full valence shell.The least reactive elements in the periodic table are the noble gases or sometimes the inert gases. These are the elements of Group 18, and they have full valence shells. They are not interested in loaning out or borrowning electrons, and are very stable.The gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon make up the inert gases. Wikipedia has a nice post on these interesting elements, and a link is provided.
