Question

Where are the noble gases located on the periodic table?

A.in Group 8A (far right-hand side)
B. in Group 1A (far left-hand side)
C. below the main body of the periodic table
D.in the middle

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. In Group 8A (far right-hand side)

Step-by-step explanation:

The noble gases are six elements (Xenon, Helium, Neon, Krypton, Radon) that share common characteristics such as low reactivity and conductivity as well as lack of odor and color. Besides this, in the periodic table, which is the table that displays all chemical elements, the noble gases are located in the far right-hand side and these are part of the VIIIA group, according to the Chemical Abstract Service group number that is more commonly used in the U.S., this is because they share common chemical features, also, these were discovered relatively late. Besides this, the group of noble gases or group VIIIA is also known as group 0 or group 18 depending on the system of numeration used. Thus, the correct answer from the option is in Group 8A (VIIIA) on the far right-hand side.

Answer 2

A.in Group 8A (far right-hand side)

Step-by-step explanation:

The so-called noble gases are found in group VIIIA of the periodic table, on the right side. It corresponds to the gases: Neon, Argon, Xenon, Helium, Radon, Helium.
