NOBLE GASES

WHAT ARE SOME ALTERNATE NAMES FOR NOBLE GASES?

• Noble gases: known as the rare gases, they once were called inert gases, because scientists believed them incapable of reacting with other elements. Rare though they are, these gases are a part of everyday life

WHAT ARE 3 UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT NOBLE GASES?

• They are the most stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outer shell can hold.
• characterised by their lack of colour, smell, taste and flammability in their natural state.
• As noble gases show extremely low chemical reactivity, while they are not inert, only a few hundred noble gas compounds have been formed to date,
