Answer:
The group 18 elements are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn). These elements are non-reactive and are called noble gases as they have their outermost orbit complete. Due to stable electronic configuration they hardly react with other elements.The name comes from the fact that these elements are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds.The group 18 elements are called noble or inert gases. As the name suggests these are inert because chemically they are very less reactive or not at all reactive.The full valence electron shells of these atoms make the noble gases extremely stable.
Hello!
The chemical reaction for the dissolving of calcium fluoride is the following:
CaF₂(s) ⇄ Ca⁺²(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)
In this reaction, and according to Le Chatelier's principle, the action that would shift this reaction away from solid calcium fluoride and towards the dissolved ions is the removing of fluoride ions.
Le Chatelier's principle states that in an equilibrium reaction, the system would shift in the opposite direction of the changes. If we remove fluoride ions from the system, it will shift towards the formation of more fluoride ions by dissolving more Calcium Fluoride to achieve equilibrium again.
Have a nice day!
