NOBLE GASES (YOUTUBE VIDEO)
The noble gases are elements of class VIIIA (8) in the periodic table. It is noble because these elements are very stable (very difficult to react). The first element of the noble gas found is argon. No natural compound of noble gas was found. The stability of this noble gas is due to its fully charged electron configuration, the octet configuration (duplet for Helium). The stability of noble gases is reflected by its enormous ionisation energy, and its very low electron affinity (marked positive). The noble gas elements are the longest studied by scientists because to make them alone, the first compound made of xenon requires a high temperature of XePtF6 Precious gases are gases that are inert, nonreactive, and hard to react with other chemicals. Noble gas is widely used in the industrial sector. Here are the noble gases: • Helium • Neon • Argon • Krypton • Xenon • Radon 1. Helium Helium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol He ...
