Noble gases 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 generally donot form compounds under normal conditions and they are mono atomic

How does a full octet affect trends among the noble gases?

A full octet makes the noble gases nonreactive.


What happens to the mass and density of the noble gases as we move down the group?

As we move down the group (group 18 of periodic table) of noble gases from Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), and Radon (Rn) the individual atoms become heavier and so gases at the same pressure and temperature will become more dense.


What happens to atoms size as you move down the periodic table in the noble gases?

The atomic size would increase as you move down anywhere on the table-even the noble gases and as you move to the right. This happens because the higher the atomic number, the higher the protons and electrons, and the more repulsive force. The protons keep pushing out the electrons, therefore making a bigger atom!:D


How does noble gases change as you go down the group?

As you move down a group of noble gases, the atomic size increases, and the number of electron shells also increases. This results in weaker interatomic forces, leading to lower boiling points and melting points. Additionally, the reactivity of noble gases decreases as you go down the group because the outer electron shell becomes further away from the nucleus, making it more difficult for the atoms to form chemical bonds.


Why do the gases in diffusion move around?

Gases in diffusion move around due to the kinetic energy of their molecules, which causes them to collide and spread out in space. This movement occurs because gas molecules are in constant random motion, and they tend to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in order to achieve equilibrium. Additionally, the lack of strong intermolecular forces in gases allows them to move freely and fill the available volume.

What happens to gases when heated?

When a noble gas is heated, its molecules move faster (this is the same as saying that the gas heats up).

How are the particles arranged in liquids and gases?

in a solid they are in neat rows and move around in a liquid they arent the close to eache other and have more spaces in them and in gases they move around and go so fast they vibrate


Do Gases have little spaces between them?

gases have huge spaces in between them.enough to move around where ever they want


How do Particles in gases move?

They move freely; spread among their container


In what matter do molecules move around easiest?

Molecules move around easiest in gases because they have high kinetic energy and are not closely packed together, allowing them to move freely and rapidly. In gases, molecules have more space to move around compared to liquids and solids, where intermolecular forces restrict their movement.


When does air become wind?

air is a mixture of many gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and noble gases. when these gases move from one place to another(usually from their higher concentration to their lower concentration) it is called wind...wind is basically moving air


What group of elements consists of non reactive non metals?

Non-reactive elements or compounds are called inert. This is a bit misleading, however - anything can be made to react given the right circumstances. The noble gases are about as close as you can get to truly inert, but even they will react under extreme conditions. >>M.T.<<
