The correct Answer is:
Noble gases are chemically inert because of the following reasons.
(i)They have completely filled `ns^(2) np^(6)` electronic configurations in their valence shells.
(ii)They have high ionization enthalpies.
(iii)Electron gain enthalpies of noble gases are positive.

All the noble gases are colourless and tasteless monoatomic gases. In general, noble gases are least reactive and their inertness to chemical reactivity is attributed to the following reasons. Reactive and their inertness to chemical reactivity is attributed to the following reasons. (i)Except helium, all have completely filled ns^(2)np^(6) electronic configuration in their valence shells. (ii)All have high ionisation enthalpy and more positive electron gain enthalpy. However, a number of xenon compounds mainly with most electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen have been synthesized under different conditions and fluorides of xenon have been used as an oxidising agent and a fluorinating agent in many of the chemical reactions Select the correct statement.
