Expert Solution
Step 1 Noble gases

Noble gases are having completely filled outermost shells.

There outer most shell electronic configuration is ns2np6 

He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn are noble gases

These are also called as Zero group elements (OR) VIII group elements

Noble gases are inert gases due to full filled outer most shell

 

 Noble gas             Atomic number

   He                                      2

   Ne                                   10

   Ar                                    18

   Kr                                    36

   Xe                                   54

   Rn                                  86
