  1. Question 1

    Q1. Noble gases are chemically inert because they have:

    • A) Very high atomic masses
    • B) Radioactive nuclei
    • C) Complete outer electron shells
    • D) Very low boiling points

    Answer: Complete outer electron shells

    Explanation: Noble gases (Group 18) have a full complement of electrons in their outermost shell — two for helium and eight for all others — leaving no unfilled orbitals to form bonds. This stable electron configuration gives them extremely low chemical reactivity under ordinary conditions.
