How many electrons are present in an inert element or noble gases like neon?
1. Neon has 10 electrons; each noble gas has a different number of electrons. 2. The outer electron shell of noble gases is full, containing eight electrons.
Which noble gas doesn't have 8 outer electrons?
Helium has only 2 valence electrons. The rest noble gases have eight.
Which noble gas can bond?
No noble gas will bond in an unexcited state. All noble gases have a complete outer valence shell consisting of eight electrons. (Helium excluded- whose outer electron shell is completed with two electrons)
What is it called when an electron has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
Why helium has 2 electrons inspite of being a noble gas?
The innermost shell contains a maximum of 2 electrons, therefore like the other noble gases, it has a full outer shell. The other noble gases all have eight in their outer shells.
What element is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell?
it is helium He. it has 2 electrons

Which noble gas doesn't have 8 outer electrons?
Helium has only 2 valence electrons. The rest noble gases have eight.
How valence electrons does helium have?
Helium has two valence electrons. It is the only noble gas not to have eight valence electrons. Helium has the electronic configuration 1s2.The Noble gases have eight valence electrons in their outer shell.
What is special about the element neon?
It's one of the unreactive, so-called 'noble' gases. This owes to the fact that its outer electron shell is complete, containing as it does of eight electrons.
What is special about the electron configurations of all noble gasses?
The electron configuration of the noble gasses are such that the valence shell (the outer most shell of electrons) is filled up with eight electrons. the outermost shell of electrons can only fit eight and the noble gasses already have all eight.
Why do noble gases not normally form compounds?
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.
What is the electron configuration of the element radon?
Radon is a noble gas; it has 8 electrons in its outer shell.
Which noble gas can bond?
No noble gas will bond in an unexcited state. All noble gases have a complete outer valence shell consisting of eight electrons. (Helium excluded- whose outer electron shell is completed with two electrons)
How many electrons are in argon the element?
All noble gasses have 8 valence electrons which means outer electrons. As for electrons overall, argon would have 18.
What kind of gas is argon?
Argon is a Noble gas--one with eight electrons in its outer shell.
What is it called when an electron has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
