Group 0

Cards (5)

  • Inert
    Means they are not reactive so they don’t react with other atoms
  • Why are noble gases inert?
    They have a full outer-shell of electrons
  • What are group 0 elements state at room temp
    Gaseous
  • Trend as you move down the noble gases
    Boiling points increase. This is because the atoms have more electrons, and so can form more intermolecular forces, which will require more energy to overcome
  • Are noble gases monoatomic or diatomic
    They are monoatomic because they exist as single atoms not bonded to anything
