the noble gases have octet configuration ie they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell ,so they are stable
The main characteristic of family 18 elements is that they are known as the noble gases. They have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. They are colorless, odorless, and tasteless gases at room temperature.
the noble gases
- The Group 1A elements are called alkali metals. - The Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals. - The nonmetals of Group 7A are called halogens. - The Group 8A elements are called the Noble Gases
Iron (Fe) does not belong in the noble gases because it is a transition metal, not a noble gas. Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. Transition metals like iron have partially filled d or f orbitals, and they can form ions and participate in chemical reactions.
Nitrogen is typically inert for most common uses. Only the noble gases (8A) are truly inert, though they are rare. Nitrogen is a diatomic in natural state, meaning that two nitrogen atoms are stuck together. This configuration gives both atoms enough electrons to fulfill the octet. In order to get the nitrogen to react with anything the bond must be broken. Since reaction (usually) happen spontaneously when a lower energy state results, it is unlikely for the nitrogen to break on its own.

the noble gases
the noble gases
Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, Ununoctium
They are all unreactive They are all gases They are all monatomic
noble gases really are just that: noble. they dont react to things easily. halogens on the other hand, do react extremely easily. that is one of the main differences between the two.
Hydrogen and helium are the two main gases in the Universe.
The f-block, or inner transition metals, are sometimes ignored in the main body of the periodic table due to their size. These elements are typically placed below the main table to conserve space, but they are still part of the overall periodic table.
halogens & noble gases
Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Or oxygen and carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide.
This is the approximate composition of the atmosphere today:78% Nitrogen21% Oxygen0.004% CO2The rest consists of Noble Gases, as well as traces of other various gases, like Ammonia and Carbon Monoxide.
