The noble gases are called "noble" because they are highly
unreactive
How many noble gases are there in the periodic table?
6
Noble gases are colorless and odorless gases at
room temperature
.
True
Noble gases have relatively high melting/boiling points compared to other Group 0
elements
What is the primary reason noble gases are unreactive?
Full outer electron shells
Match the noble gas with its electron configuration:
Helium ↔️ 1s^2
Neon ↔️ 2s^2 2p^6
Argon ↔️ 3s^2 3p^6
Krypton ↔️ 4s^2 4p^6
The electron configuration of noble gases is the key to understanding their high stability and low
reactivity
The noble gases have full outer electron shells, which makes them highly
stable
.
True
Which group of elements in the periodic table is known as the noble gases?
Group 0
Noble gases are unreactive because they have full outer
electron shells
.
True
Noble gases have extremely low
reactivity
Order the noble gases from highest to lowest melting/boiling points:
1️⃣ Radon (Rn)
2️⃣ Xenon (Xe)
3️⃣ Krypton (Kr)
4️⃣ Argon (Ar)
5️⃣ Neon (Ne)
6️⃣ Helium (He)
Why are noble gases difficult to detect visually?
They are colorless
What is the appearance of noble gases at room temperature?
Colorless and odorless
Match the noble gas with its electron configuration:
Helium ↔️ 1s^2
Neon ↔️ 2s^2 2p^6
Argon ↔️ 3s^2 3p^6
Krypton ↔️ 4s^2 4p^6
The full outer electron shells of noble gases result in their unreactivity and high
stability
What property of helium makes it suitable for cryogenics?
Low boiling point
Which noble gas is used in photography flash lamps?
Xenon
Arrange the noble gases in order of increasing atomic number:
1️⃣ Helium
2️⃣ Neon
3️⃣ Argon
4️⃣ Krypton
5️⃣ Xenon
6️⃣ Radon
What makes noble gases highly stable and unreactive?
Full outer electron shells
Match the noble gas with its primary use:
Helium ↔️ Cryogenics
Neon ↔️ Advertising signs
Argon ↔️ Welding
Krypton ↔️ Laser technology
Argon is used in welding to shield against
oxidation
Match the noble gas with its relevant property:
Helium ↔️ Inertness
Neon ↔️ Bright red light
Argon ↔️ Shields against oxidation
Krypton ↔️ Emits different wavelengths
Noble gases are unreactive due to their full outer
electron
shells.
