The Noble gases have a completely filled valence electron shell. Since they are already totally stable on their own, it takes too much energy to ionize them and make them bond with other elements. The reason elements react is to gain the highest level of stability they can. There is no need for Noble gases to react if they are already at their highest level of stability.

What element is more reactive Be or Ar?

Berylium is a alkaline earth metal and is fairly reactive. Argon is a noble gas that is very unreactive. Therefore Be is more reactive


What is neons classification?

Neon is classified as a noble gas in the periodic table. It is in Group 18 and Period 2. Neon is a colorless, odorless gas with a low boiling point and is commonly used in neon signs due to its bright red-orange glow when electricity passes through it.


Where does the gas exchange take pace in the body?

gas exchange takes place in the lungs, and at the cellular level. In the lungs, carbon dioxide and other "waste" gasses are released from the blood to be exhaled, and oxygen is absorbed into the blood. At the cellular level, oxygen is released from the blood into a cell, and carbon dioxide and other "waste" gasses are passed into the blood.


Atoms that are known as inert or noble rarely undergo reactions because?

Noble gases are non-reactive due to their stability. The outer most shell shoud have 8 electrons to be stable and all the elements in the eighth group have 8 electrons in their outer most shell so they do not need to take part in chemical reactions to become stable THAT is why they are non reactive!

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.


Is krypton reactive or nonreactive?

Non-reactive, along with all other noble gasses.


When elements are noble gases?

All of the noble gasses have full outer electron shells - rendering them extremely nonreactive. Their electron configuration is what places them in the group on the periodic table that we have designated "noble gases".


Which family on the periodic table does not react at all?

The noble gases family do not react with other elements since they have a full valence shell of electrons, making them stable and nonreactive.


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.


What is period vllla on the periodic table so chemically unreactive?

Group 8 contains the noble gasses. They are nonreactive because they have a completed shell of electrons. Other elements react to try to get an outer shell that contains 8 electrons, but the noble gasses already have that so they don't need to react.


What is the name of the group of nonreactive non metals that includes argon?

it is group 18 and is part of the non-metals.


What is the family of elemnts in nonreactive gases called?

Where can you find noble gasses in nature?

Noble gases can be found in the atmosphere; the air on Earth is partly composed of the noble gasses.


Noble gases are nonreactive gaseous elements that are located in group?

Noble gasses are found in group number 8A or 18. There :)


Why are noble gas nonreactive?

Having the outer shell of electrons filled noble gases are very stable.
