Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table: Group 0 (DONE)

Question 1

What is another name for “Group 0”?

Answer 1

Another name for “Group 0” is the noble gases.

Question 2

Why are group 0 elements so unreactive?

Answer 2

Group 0 elements are so unreactive as they all have a full outer shell. Meaning they are stable and will not react.

Question 3

Describe the boiling points of group 0 elements.

Answer 3

All the noble gases have boiling points lower than room temperature. This explains why they are all gases at room temperature.

Question 4

What happens to the boiling points as we go down the group 0 elements?

Answer 4

As we go down the group 0 elements the boiling points increases.

Question 5

Why do the boiling points increase as we go down group 0?

Answer 5

The boiling points of the noble gases increase as we go down the group as the relative atomic mass also increases. So the energy needed is greater.
