Because the outer electron shell is full as is the case with helium and neon or because it has the stable octet configuration, with 8 electrons, which is true for the rest, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

Are noble gases reactive or unreactive?

Unreactive


Are noble gases very unreactive gases?

Correct.


Most unreactive group in the piriodic table?

The noble gases are the most stable unreactive elements on the periodic table, they are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon


What is the name of the group with most unreactive elements?

Noble gases (or group 18 elements)


The most characteristic property of the noble gases is that they?

The most characteristic property of noble gases is their inertness or lack of reactivity due to having a full outer electron shell. This makes them stable and unreactive under normal conditions.


The most unreactive family of gases?

The noble gases are the most unreactive family of gases. They have a full outer electron shell, making them very stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. This includes gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.


What familyof coumpounds is most likely to be relatively unreactive?

The "Noble gases" of group VIII are unreactive, because they are stable, due to their electron arrangements. If an atom has a full outer shell, it is "happy" and will not bond with other atoms.


Why are noble gases very reactive?

Nobel gases are very unreactive.


What elements are most resistant to forming compounds?

The Noble gasses. Neon, Argon, Xenon, Radon, Krypton and Helium


Justify why the noble gas family is unreactive?

In short, an element's valence shell is full and most stable when it contains eight electrons (this stability is the reason that the noble gases are so unreactive).


How many valence electrons are found in most atoms of the noble gases use this information to explain why the noble gases are unreactive?

Most atoms of the noble gases have eight valence electrons, which corresponds to a full outer electron shell. This complete electron configuration makes noble gases highly stable and unreactive, as they do not need to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve stability. As a result, noble gases typically do not form chemical bonds with other elements.


What don't the noble gases form?

Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.
