Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

Some characteristics of noble gases are:

- the valence electron shell is completely filled

- the electronegativity is practically absent

- they are very unreactive and today only a limited number of compounds are known

- they exist in nature in a elemental form

- excepting argon they are rare and expensive gases

- the melting and the boiling points are very close

Name for the family of non-metals that do not react with other elements?

The Noble Gases. They have all of their electron spots filled in the ring that they are using. Making them stable.


What is the roman numeral of the noble gas family?

Old textbooks usually gave the noble gases group 0., although some did call it group VIIIA.


What is an interesting fact about noble gases?

An interesting fact about noble gases is that they do not have any reactivity. Some of the noble gases include helium, argon and neon among others.

What are some other names for noble?

Noble gases are also known as, 1- inert gases 2- rare gases 3- monoatomic gases 4- zero group elements.


What are some monoatomic noble gases?

Neon, Argon, Krypton and Xenon.Added:Forgotten: Helium and Radon (first and last one of the six membered family)


What are some elements in the same chemical family?

Noble gases: Ne (neon), Ar (argon), Kr (krypton), Xe (xenon), Rn (radon)


Which group of elements is very stable and nonreactive?

The class of noble gases (Helium, Neon etc. in group 18) There are two groups that come to mind when talking stability: the noble gases and the coinage metals. The noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn) are very chemically stable and do not readily form compounds. Note that although Radon is chemically stable, it's not stable from a nuclear standpoint and will decay (but it is not reactive in the chemical sense). The coinage metals (such as gold, silver, and copper) are very unreactive. Note that the further an element is from Au on the periodic table, the more reactive it is (obviously the Noble gases do not follow this trend).


What are some other names for Noble gases?

Another name for noble gases is inert gases.


Do metalloids or noble gases form cations?

Metals form cations by the complete transfer of electrons. Metalloids and some noble gases generally form covalent bonds


What is the family for the most unreactive metals?

It's called "nukalium family"


Which family does NOT have electronegativity values?

It is not true to say that any family does not have electronegativity values. It is tempting to say the inert gases, group 18, but we have a value for the electronegativity of xenon, 2.6 on the Pauling scale. Some of the other members of the group form compounds, though they are difficult or impossible to isolate, and their electronegativities have therefore not been measured. Whether they can thus be said to have electronegativity values or not is a moot point.
