Noble Gases have a complete set of electrons in their orbits. As seen in a Bohr Diagram, there can by two electrons in the first orbit, eight in the next two, and eighteen in the next two. When an entire orbit is filled perfectly (2 in Helium, 10 in Neon, 18 in Argon, etc.), the element is very stable and, thus, a "Noble Gas."

What is it about the electron configuration of noble gases that makes them stable?

Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, which makes them stable because they have achieved a balanced and low-energy state.


What happens when two noble gases are combined?

When two noble gases are combined, they tend to form a stable non-reactive mixture due to their full outer electron shells, which makes them very unlikely to react with other elements. This makes noble gas compounds very rare under normal conditions.

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.
