Explanation:

1. Noble gases are non - metals as they do not exhibit metallic properties.
2. Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, so they do not have a tendency to gain electrons.
3. Due to their stable electron configuration, they do not readily form ions.
4. Although noble gases are generally inert, some can form compounds under specific conditions, so they are not completely non - reactive with other ions or elements.

Answer:

1. A. true
2. B. false
3. B. false
4. B. false
