Unit 1 - Noble Gases Flashcards
1
Q
Why are Noble gases so unreactive?
A
Because they have a full outer shell so don’t want to react to gain or loose another electron
2
Q
Properties of noble gases at room temperature
A
Noble gases are colourless gases at room temperature and non flammable
3
Q
Properties of noble gases as you go down group 0
A
As you go down group 0, boiling point and relative atomic mass increases
4
Q
Why does boiling point increase as you go down group 0
A
Boiling point increases because there are more electrons - Consequently stronger intermolecular forces to overcome
