Question

Apply: Atoms are most stable when their outermost shell is full. If their outermost shell is not full, atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons until the shell fills up. While doing this, atoms react and form chemical bonds with other atoms.

Based on this, what can you infer about the reactivity of helium and neon?

Answer 1

Answer:

these are the noble gases they do not react with any other element ..theirs shells are completely filled

Answer 2

Helium and Neon are non-reactive gases.

• Reactivity is the relative capacity of an atom, molecule, or radical to undergo a chemical reaction with another atom, molecule, or compound.

• The location of electrons in an atom can be described as concentric shells around the nucleus of the atom.

• The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity.

• Noble gases have low reactivity because they have full electron shells. Thus, the electrons are unable to form bonds with other atoms, molecules or compounds.
