Question
noble gases
replace each question with a full sentence answer the
question
- what is the group number?
- why were these gases considered to be inert or stable?
- what is their oxidation number?
1.
Noble gases are located in group 18 of the periodic table.
Noble gases have a full valence electron shell (usually 8 valence electrons, except helium with 2), which means they have no tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds, making them inert or stable.
Due to their stable electron configuration, noble gases typically do not gain or lose electrons, so their oxidation number is 0 in most chemical compounds and elemental form.
