Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms of group 18 elements have eight valence electrons (or two in the case of helium). These elements already have a full outer energy level, so they are very stable. As a result, they rarely if ever react with other elements. Therefore, it is very reactive and gives up electrons in chemical reactions.
