Are the noble gases considered inert or reactive? why?

Noble gases are considered as Inert because they are unreactive.

Explanation:

Seven noble elments are known to us , they are: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and oganesson. Noble gases have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and hence their valence shell is complete, they donot need further electrons to complete their octet so they are unreactive. Also they posses following properties.

h let me think

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
