Question

The noble gases are inert due to the fact that A. their valence shell is empty B. their valence shell is full C. their electrons are so spred out D. they are not the most stable elements​

Answer 1

B) Their valence shell is full

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.

A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.
