Question

In which region of the periodic table do the elements NOT normally react chemically with other elements?

A)Metals

B)Metalloids

C)Non-metals

D)Noble Gases

Answer 1

D = Noble Gases

Step-by-step explanation:

Noble gases are elements found on the extreme left of the period table; the Group 8 elements which means complete outer shell hence complete octet, also called inert elements.

They are odourless, colourless with low chemical reactivity and sometimes exist as monotonic gases with low boiling and melting point. they include: Neon, Argon, Xenon etc.

Elements bond with other elements on the periodic table because of their incomplete outer shell. Bonding ensures that the completed outer shells of both elements by either losing or gaining (ionic bonds) or sharing (covalent bond) id filled as so they form stable compounds. Noble gases are inreactive because of their stability and hence, unlikely to gain or lose electrons.

Answer 2

The region of the periodic table that do the elements not normally react chemically with other elements is noble gases(answer D)

Explanation

• Nobles gases are element in group 18 in periodic table.

• They have 8 electrons in their outermost energy level( their valence electrons are fully filled)

• This make noble gases inert ( an reactive ) since they cannot gain or loss electron .
