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.

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?

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.


Why are noble gas nonreactive?

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