There are no "noble metals". The "noble" connotation for "noble gas" is that in society, the "noble" people don't interact with the average people. "Noble" or inert gases do not take part in any regular chemical reactions. The individual atoms don't form elements or compounds.

Why are noble gases also cauld inert gases?

Noble gases are called inert gases because they are very stable and unreactive due to having full outer electron shells. This stability makes them unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. The term "noble" comes from their perceived similarity to noble metals, which are also stable and unreactive.


Are inert gases and royal gases the same?

'Royal gas' is not a term used in chemistry. Perhaps you mean "noble gas", if so yes "inert gas" and "noble gas" often mean the same thing. However, oxides and fluorides of some of the "noble gasses " do exist, it might be best to think of them as "noble" rather than "inert". Xe, forms oxides.


Why are noble gases referred to snobs?

The noble gases do not interact or react to the other elements because they have electron balanced shells. They do not need one or have one to give. Because of this they don't inteact with the other elements unless forced. Not unlike the humans that think they are "noble". Hence the name Noble gases.


Why are Group 8A elements known as noble gases?

The grup 8 elemnts are quite unreactive- the term noble was I think coined for gold and other unreactive metals- and the adjective got re-used- they were once called the inert gases- but this is no longer true as unstable reactive compounds have been made for Argon and the heavier members of the group.


What does the term noble in noble gas mean?

Noble gases are so named because they do not react (most of the time) with other elements. They already possess a stable octet in their valence shells and therefore do not need to transfer or share their electrons to be stable.

What does the term noble mean when referring to noble metals and noble gasses?

They generally do not react with other elements. In other words, they're "too good" to associate with anything else. When discussing metals, it also means that they don't corrode (i.e. they don't oxidize). Noble metals such as gold and platinum are considered more valuable than metals such as silver, which slowly tarnishes.

Why are the inert gases called by this term?

The Noble gases were known as inert gases because it was believed that they were completely unreactive. This is no longer true as scientists have discovered compounds containing noble gas elements.


What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?

Group 17 elements are called halogens, which include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Group 18 elements are called noble gases, which include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.

How many non-metals?

There are seven main non-metals: Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, Polonium. The metalloids are located on the 'staircase' between the metallic elements and the gases. Other elements can be classified as non-metal, since the term is very broad. These can included Oxygen, Carbon, the Halogens, the Noble Gases, Hydrogen, etc.
