Are noble gases group IV?
No, noble gases are not group IV elements. Noble gases are group VIII elements on the periodic table, located in the far right column. Group IV elements are the carbon group elements.
Helium is the element of group viiiA?
Helium is actually classified as a noble gas and belongs to group 18 (VIII A) in the periodic table. It has two electrons in its outer shell, making it chemically stable and unreactive. This property is characteristic of noble gases, which is why they are sometimes called "inert gases."
When all group IIA lose their valence electrons the remaining electrons configurations are the same as for what family of elements?
When group IIA elements lose their valence electrons, they form cations with a +2 charge and have the same electron configuration as the nearest noble gas in the periodic table, which is group VIIIA (noble gases).
What have a full set of electrons on their outermost energy level?
The noble gases (group 18/VIIIA/0) are naturally occurring elements that have a full valence shell with eight valence electrons (an octet), except for helium which has two valence electrons (a duet). This makes these elements very stable and very nonreactive.
Are noble gases found in group VIIA?
No, noble gases are found in group 0/VIII of the periodic table, not in group VIIA. Group VIIA consists of the halogens, which include elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
