Valency, the combining capacity of an element, is equal to the number of electrons needed, or required to be removed from the outermost shell of the atom of that element, to have a complete 'octet'. The helium atom has only the 1s orbital in its only shell, and it is completely filled with 2 electrons. Its electronic configuration is 1s2.<span>Therefore, helium and the other inert gases with complete octets normally do not take part in chemical reactions. They are considered as zero-valent elements.</span>

Which parts (postulates) of Dalton's atomic theory has been modified in light of later discoveries
professor190 [17]

Explanation:

1) Atoms can not be subdivided. It has been changed as it is possible to divide an atom into Protons, Neutrons and Electrons as well as other smaller particles.

2) The regulations for the chemical mixture have always been altered to the rules for the chemical combination in the creation of organic compounds may be denied.

3)Atoms are of a particular element are identical in all respects i. e. they have same mass and similar properties.

It was modified. And according. to new search;

Atoms of the same element may not be always identical.

Answer:

Group 18th

Explanation:

The group 18th of periodic table which is composed of Noble gases mainly was missing from the Mendeleev's periodic table. The reason for this is that Noble gases are least reactive, therefore, it was difficult to predict such elements which do not react with other elements.
