What is so special about the group18 elements?

Answer 1

Group 18 in the Periodic Table is the last column on the periodic table. This family is known as the Noble Gases and is so special because of their inability to react. They have a full outer shell of electrons, which means they are very stable and can be found in nature as isolated elements.

Answer 2

Group 18 elements, also known as noble gases, are special because they have a full outer shell of electrons, making them very stable and unreactive. This stability gives them unique properties, such as being colorless, odorless, and non-flammable. They are typically used in lighting, lasers, and cryogenics.

Answer 3

Gropup 18 consists of the noble gases which are the least reactive of all elements because they have a stable outer electron level consisting of 8 electrons.

Answer 4

Group 18, or the Noble Gases, are all nonmetals with full outer shells. They are very stable and inert, but are only found in small amounts in earth's atmosphere.

Answer 5

their outer electron shells are full, making them stable

Answer 6

they are chemically inert, they are the ending elements of each period and they have a completely filled octet configuration.

Answer 7

They're Noble gases and have their outer orbital complete with electrons.

Answer 8

Group 18 is known as the Noble Gases or Inert Gases. They are extremely UNreactive because they have a total of 8 valence electrons. They are generally odorless and colorless.

Answer 9

They have completely filled p-orbitals and the elements obey octet rule. Hence they are chemically inert.

Answer 10

They have completely filled orbitals. The elements obey octet rule (except for helium, which has two valence electrons only) and hence are stable and generally chemically inert.
