Best Answer

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

Why were the noble gases at one time called the inert gases?

Noble gases are gases and have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and called inert gases.

Why are noble gases referred to snobs?

Noble gases are referred to as "noble" because they are very stable and unreactive due to having a full outer electron shell. This stability is often associated with the idea of nobility or being "above" the reactivity of other elements. The term "noble" has no relation to the colloquial term "snob."

Are neon's elements?

There are "noble gases" of which neon is one. They're the elements at the far-right side of the Periodic Table. As their outer orbitals are completely populated, noble gases are nonreactive.
