Why won't stable elements react?
Stable elements do not react because they don't need to. Elements react so that they can gain stability( as stability is gained by filling the outer most shell of the atom). As stable elements already have full outer shells and are stable , they do not react.
What are the differences among the different elements?
The chemical nature of an element is determined (mainly) by the electronic configuration in the outermost shells. However, most elements have isotopes - atomic configurations that have the same outer shells, but which may have a different number of neutrons in the atom core. This gives them the same chemical nature, but a different mass. Many isotopes are unstable in the long run - they will spontaneously disintegrate.
Which chemical family is composed of elements that have full valence shells?
The noble gases are the chemical family composed of elements that have full valence shells. These elements include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Due to their full valence shells, noble gases are known for their stability and lack of reactivity with other elements. This stability is attributed to the fact that their outermost energy levels are completely filled with electrons.
How many shells exists in an atom and what are the names of that shells?
The number of shells varies. The row number of the element is the number of shells. They don't really have names, but they're referred to by how many levels they are away from the nucleus.
