Answer 1

Which of the following are characteristics of noble gases?

`{ \bf{ \underbrace{Answer :}}}`

`\sf\red{B. \:They're\: inert.}` ✅

• An inert gas is one that does not undergo chemical reactions. The noble gases have complete outer shells, so they have no tendency to lose, gain, or share electrons. This is why they are said to be inert.

`\sf\purple{D.\: They \:don't \:react\: with\: other\: elements.}`✅

• Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. This is because they already have the desired eight total 's' and 'p' electrons in their outermost (highest) energy level.
