The general outer electronic configuration of noble gas is ns2np6. Helium, however has 1s2 configuration, rest of the inert gases have 8 electrons in their outermost valence shell. This imparts stability to the atoms of these gases. As a result of which they neither lose nor gain electrons. Consequently these gases are almost chemically inert.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions:
(i) Write the names and symbols of the elements of group 18.
(ii) Why are inert gas also called noble gases?
(iii) Neon is generally used for warning signals. Why?
