Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

The noble gases are almost completely nonreactive for this reason they are sometimes called?

Inert Gases


Why are noble gasses called inert gasses?

With very few exceptions (you can make argon fluorides, but you have to work at it), the noble gases are nonreactive--they won't form compounds.


What are the nobel gasses also called?

Noble gases are also called inert gases because they tend to be chemically nonreactive due to their stable electron configurations.


Noble gases are chemically?

Noble gases are chemically inert, meaning they are generally non-reactive with other elements. This is due to their stable electron configuration, with a full outer shell of electrons. This makes noble gases very useful in applications where a non-reactive atmosphere is required.


What is the family of elemnts in nonreactive gases called?

Noble gases


Is argon reactive or nonreactive nonmetal?

Because it is a noble gas, it is no reactive, as all its electron shells are filled.


Is neon a part of the noble gases family or the inert gases family?

Yes. Neon is a part of noble gases (or inert gases)


Explain why the noble gases are sometimes called inert gases?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).


How active is noble gases?

Noble gases are chemically inert.


What are the column 8 elements called?

Column 8 elements are known as the noble gases or inert gases. They include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These elements have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and nonreactive.


What is nonreactive gases?

Nonreactive gases are gases that do not easily undergo chemical reactions with other substances. Examples include noble gases like helium, neon, and argon, as well as diatomic molecules like nitrogen and oxygen in their elemental forms. These gases are often used in inert environments or as protective atmospheres in various industrial processes.
