Answer:
Inert gases
Explanation:
Inert elements have a stable electron configuration meaning their shells/orbitals are full with their requisite number of electrons. Therefore, gaining or losing an electron would take high ionization energy. Therefore they are less likely to be involved in chemical reaction unless a high amount of energy is used. An example of an inert gas is Helium.
Answer: 17) d. 
18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:

The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.
17. Thus the empirical formula of
should be 
18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.
all the elements in group 18 are Nobel gases or inert gases . all the elements such as neon , helium, argon etc. ,their outermost shell is completely filled . The noble gases have the largest ionization energies, reflecting their chemical inertness
