Noble gases are generally chemically inert, because they have completely filled valence orbitals. However, the nucleii of the heavier ones have a weaker electromagnetic 'hold' on the electrons of their outer shells. This means extremely powerful oxidising agents can react with the heavier noble gases, such as Platinum hexafluoride reacting with Xenon to form Xenon hexafluoroplatinate.
What else can I help you with?
Is noble gases metals that are more reactive than the transition elements but less reactive than the alkali metals?
No, noble gases are not metals; they are a group of non-metal elements. Noble gases are the least reactive elements because they have a full valence shell of electrons, which makes them stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Alkali metals are the most reactive metals, while transition elements have varying reactivity levels depending on the element.
What groups are stable Alkali metals or alkanie metals or earth metals or halogens or noble gases?
Noble gases are the most stable group of elements due to having a full valence shell of electrons, making them generally unreactive. Alkali metals are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Alkaline earth metals are less reactive than alkali metals, but more reactive than noble gases. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals due to their tendency to gain one electron to achieve a full valence shell.
Is the carbon family or the noble gases more reactive?
the carbon family. the noble gases never react
Which properties are common between alkali metals alkaline earth metals halogens noble gases?
Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, and noble gases each belong to distinct groups on the periodic table, exhibiting unique properties. However, they share common trends such as being reactive, with alkali and alkaline earth metals being highly reactive, particularly with water, while halogens are reactive nonmetals. Additionally, all these groups have distinct electron configurations that dictate their reactivity and bonding behavior, and they all play essential roles in various chemical reactions and compounds. Noble gases, while generally inert, are characterized by a complete valence shell, which distinguishes them from the more reactive groups.
Why are the halogens most likely to react with the noble gases?
Halogens are highly reactive elements because they have seven valence electrons and are only one electron away from achieving a stable electron configuration like the noble gases. This electronic configuration makes halogens more likely to react with noble gases to gain that missing electron and achieve stability by forming compounds.

How does metals or nonmetals change as you go down group 0?
As you go down Group 0 (also known as the noble gases), both metals and nonmetals tend to become less reactive. The noble gases are already very stable and unreactive, and this reactivity decreases even further as you move down the group. Metals in Group 0, called alkali metals, also become more reactive as you go down the group, while nonmetals in Group 0, known as halogens, become less reactive.
How many electrons away from a noble gas are the alkali metals?
Alkali metals have one electron more than the noble gases.
Why noble gases react with fluorine as you know noble gases are more stable?
Because fluorine is having the most electronegativity and is the most reactive non metal.
Which are more chemically reactive halogens or noble gases?
Halogens are more chemically reactive compared to noble gases. Halogens have a high tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, while noble gases already have a full outer electron shell and are therefore less likely to react with other elements.
What is the rule for the activity trends of metals and nonmetals?
Metals: the farther to the left the more reactive they are. Group 1 metals, which include sodium and potassium, are so highly reactive that they do not exist in nature by themselves (only in compound form.) Non-metals: the farther to the right the more reactive they are *with the exception of group 18* which are the noble gases and do not react at all. The most reactive are group 17, which include fluorine and chlorine. These non-metals, like group 1, rarely exist by themselves because of their high reactivity.
Where are the least reactive metals found on the periodic table?
The right most column, Group 8*, or the noble gases are the least reactive elements in the periodic table these are:platinumgoldmercurythalliumleadbismuthpolonium
Which group of elements is very stable and nonreactive?
Noble gases are the group of elements that are very stable and nonreactive due to their full outer electron shells, which gives them little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds.
