State that: (a) Group VIII noble gases have a full outer electron shell (b) the number of outer shell electrons is equal to the group number in Groups I to VII (c) the number of occupied electron shells is equal to the period number
Describe the Group VIII noble gases as unreactive, monatomic gases and explain this in terms of electronic configuration
State that isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties because they have the same number of electrons and therefore the same electronic configuration
