Question | Answer |
What elements are in the noble gases? | helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and the radioactive radon (Rn). |
Block and position in the periodic table? | In group 18 or 0, due to d-block elements and the fact that their shell is full in the p-block |
Electrons in outer shell | The noble gases have a full outer shell, which can be 2, 8 or even 18 in the outermost shell |
Properties | They are all odourless, colourless, monatomic(atoms not bound to each other) gases with very low chemical reactivity |
Reactivity | Full shell results in very little tendency to be involved in chemical reactions |
Stability | The noble gases are very stable in every sense due to the full outer shell giving very little valency |
Other properties | The melting and boiling points for a given noble gas are close together, meaning they are liquids over only a small temperature range. |
Radon | Is a radioactive element, and due to less electromagnetic forces participates in reactions easier |
