Group 18 elements

Noble gases

The noble gases form the 18th group and are on the far right in the periodic table. The noble gases include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon and oganesson, the heaviest element known to date that can only be artificially produced for a very short time. Their electron configuration (filled shells) makes them very stable and therefore inert. The noble gases (except for Organesson) are described in this video from dahewissenChemie.
