    The document discusses the elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, also known as the noble gases. It provides information on their electron configurations, chemical reactivity, physical properties and common uses. Specifically, it notes that: 1) Noble gases have full outer electron shells, making them chemically unreactive and existing as monoatomic gases. 2) Their properties include being colorless gases with low melting and boiling points as well as densities that increase down the group while melting/boiling points decrease. 3) Common uses include filling light bulbs and weather balloons for helium, advertising lights and television tubes for neon, and welding and lasers for other noble gases.

    PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS


    B. GROUP 18 ELEMENTS
    GROUP 18

    http://periodictable.com/ 1. The elements in Group 18 are Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon Radon 2 2.8 2.8.8 2.8.18.8 2.8.18.18.8 2.8.18.32.18.8

    2. They are also known as noble gases, which are chemically unreactive. Noble gases are monoatomic. 3. Helium has two valence electrons. This is called duplet electron arrangement. 4. Other noble gases have eight valence electrons. This is called octet electron arrangement.

    5. Duplet and octet electron arrangements are very stable because the outermost occupied shells are full. 6. All nobles gases are inert which means chemically unreactive.
    Why noble gases exist as monoatomic gases and are chemically unreactive?

    BECAUSE THE OUTERMOST OCCUPIED SHELLS ARE FULL

    Physical Properties of Group 18 Elements


    1. Group 18 elements have very small atom. 2. They are colourless gases a room temperature and pressure. 3. They have low melting and boiling point. 4. They have low densities.

    Uses of Group 18 elements


    Helium Used to fill airships and weather balloons, because the gas is very light. The divers oxygen tank contains a mixture of helium (80%) and oxygen (20%). Neon Advertising lights. Television tubes. Airport landing bulb to help aero plane landing safely. Argon To fill light bulbs, it can last longer To provide inert atmosphere for welding at high temperature. Krypton Used in lasers to repair the retina of the eye. To fill photographic flash lamps. Radon Used in treatment of cancer. Xenon Used in bubble chambers in atomic energy reactors.
