Verified by Experts


All these elements have eight electrons in valance shell, hence the general electronic configuration in `ns^2 np^6` except `He(1s^(2))` . Due to presence of completely filled shells, these elements are chemically unreactive and forms very few compounds. Hence they are called noble gases.
