How many valence electrons are found in most atoms of the noble gases? How would you use this information to explain why the noble gases are non-reactive?

All of the halogens are potent oxidants. $F_2$ is the most potent oxidant on .

Chemistry is driven by the observation of chemical reactivity, by the analysis of how matter transforms in chemical reaction. Of course, given inert materials, there is no chemical reactivity...

Given a full valence shell, Noble gases, are (i) hard to oxidize, and (ii) hard to reduce. The Noble gases should therefore have a quite limited chemistry, as indeed they...

Nitrogen is in Group V. It has 5 . Do I win £5-00?

in group $14$ have $4$ . Meaning that to achieve a stable octet they need to either gain or lose $4$ electrons in total. That would take significantly more...

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases. Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal...

In terms of actual , there is literally only one example. You can consider that their oxidation states have never gotten higher than $+8$, except for Iridium: In terms...

As you may or may not know, atoms of elements take and give electrons in order to form bonds and, therefore, . However, noble gases have a full valence shell...

And the zinc cation is $Zn^(2+)$. When the ions form a salt, clearly they form an electrically neutral species; and thus the formulation of the salt is $Zn_3P_2$. Each phosphorus...

The term "stable" in Chemistry simply means that the atoms have an octet shell. With a full valence shell, electrons cannot be shared nor transferred. Since Noble Gases are known...
