1 Introduction
The elements in the last column of the periodic table consist of the noble gases. Noble
gases belong to Group 18 or the Zero Group, which is the last column in the p-block. Noble
gases have their valence shells completely filled, hence they have extremely low reactivity.
The elements that are noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr),
xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). Let us study the properties of these gases in some detail.
