To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 4STP
Option C. Region C
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.
In the periodic table, the region C elements are unreactive elements. These are the noble gases. The atoms of noble gases have full 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.
Conclusion:
The noble gases are unreactive in the region C and they are in the group 18 in periodic table.
