  • Technetium (Tc): Is It a Noble Gas? - Periodic Table & Properties
    No, Tc (Technetium) cannot be classified as a noble gas. Here's why:

    * Noble gases are located in Group 18 of the periodic table. They are characterized by having a full outer shell of electrons, making them very stable and unreactive.

    * Technetium is a transition metal located in Group 7. It has an incomplete outer shell of electrons, making it chemically reactive.

    Therefore, Tc exhibits properties that are entirely different from noble gases.
