The noble gases have closed-shell electronic cordigaration and are monatomic gases under normal condition .The low bolling points of the ligher noble gases aree due to the weak dispersion points of the ligher noble gases an due to the weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the alsence of other interalumic interactions.
