Account for the fact that noble gases exhibit low chemical reactivity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Noble gases having closed valance shell configuration as `ns^(2)np^(6)` . The valence shell orbitals of noble gases are completely filled by electrons and it is very difficult to alter this stable arrangement by the addition or removal of electrons.
