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.

Why were the noble gases at one time called the inert gases?

Noble gases are gases and have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and called inert gases.


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

Inert gases. This was a common term for them until the first reaction between a noble gas and another material was discovered a few decades ago.

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).
