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
Noble gases: Ne (neon), Ar (argon), Kr (krypton), Xe (xenon), Rn (radon)
Another name for noble gases is inert gases.
There are many gases that can be considered monatomic gases. Some of these gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon and all of those gases are considered noble gases.
Noble gases are colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making them very stable and unreactive. They are often used in lighting, such as neon signs and neon lights, due to their ability to emit colorful light when excited by electricity.
Halogens can be gaseous, liquid or solid; noble gases are only gases.Halogens are very chemical reactive elements; only some compounds of noble gases are known.
Old textbooks usually gave the noble gases group 0., although some did call it group VIIIA.
The noble gases, such as helium and neon, are non-metals that do not readily react with other elements due to their stable electron configurations.
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.
Noble gases are also known as, 1- inert gases 2- rare gases 3- monoatomic gases 4- zero group elements.
Neon, Argon, Krypton and Xenon.Added:Forgotten: Helium and Radon (first and last one of the six membered family)
Noble gases: Ne (neon), Ar (argon), Kr (krypton), Xe (xenon), Rn (radon)
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.
It is a noble gas; noble gases are chemically inert. Some compounds have been synthesised however.
Another name for noble gases is inert gases.
Noble gases are the group of elements that are very stable and nonreactive due to their full outer electron shells, which gives them little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds.
It's called "nukalium family"
No. The noble gases are in group 18 in wide form periodic tables and group VIII in some older narrow form tables.
