The P Block Elements - Result Question 92
####95. Noble gases do not react with other elements because
[1994]
(a) They are mono atomic
(b) They are found in abundance
(c) The size of their atoms is very small
(d) They are completely paired up and stable electron shells
Show Answer
Solution:
- (d) On account of highly stable $n s^{2} n p^{6}$ configuration in the valence shell. These elements have no tendency either to lose, gain or share electrons with atoms of other elements i.e., their combining capacity or valency is zero. Further all the orbitals in the atoms of these elements are doubly occupied i.e electrons are not available for sharing.
