To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 2STP
Option D. group 18
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The elements which have full outer shell electrons (8 valence electrons) are non-reactive and they have little tendency to gain or lose the electrons.
The atoms of noble gases have full of outer shell electrons like helium (He), neon (Ne), krypton (Kr), radon (Ra), and Xenon (Xe).
Generally, the group 18 elements are unreactive towards other elements.
At room temperature, the elemental form of group 18 elements is colorless and odorless.
Conclusion:
The noble gases are non-reactive and lie in group 18.
