Inert gases are the most stable ones, so if we try to add another electron, the stable electronic configuration is disturbed. So, we have supply energy for this process. Hence, electron gain enthalpy is positive.

What is it called when an electron has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
Why inert gases are used in gm tube?
because in the inert gasses after ionisation electron is free and this gasses use for collection.
Is neon metal?
No. Neon (symbol Ne, atomic number 10) is an inert gas. Inert gases are also known as rare gases or noble gases and are generally unreactive due to a full outer electron shell.
What has a full outer electron shells which makes them inert?
All noble gases or group 18 elements.
What proprties are shared bt the noble gas?
All Noble gases have full outer electron shells making them inert.
What is it called when an electron has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
What group of elements have an outermost electron shell that is complete?
Inert gases

Why is a noble gas inert?
Noble gases have a stable electron configuration. So they are less reactive.
What has a full outer electron shells which makes them inert?
All noble gases or group 18 elements.
What makes neon an inert gas?
Noble gases (such as neon) have full valence electron shells (8 electrons).
Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?
An inert gas is one that won't react with other gases. You can store inert gases with any other gases - oxygen (an oxidizing gas) and argon (an inert gas) are commonly stored together in industrial settings.
The noble gases are inert This means they?
inert means they are not reactive gases. (:
What proprties are shared bt the noble gas?
All Noble gases have full outer electron shells making them inert.
What are inert gases?
Inert gases are the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn). They used to be called the inert gases until Neil Bartlett proved that you could make compounds out of some of them, so they were renamed "inert" gases.
What is the percentage of inert gases in atmosphere?
there is 1.25 percent of inert gases in the atmosphere
