  • Helium: Understanding Its Classification as a Noble Gas
    Helium is a noble gas.

    Here's why:

    * Noble gases are located in Group 18 of the periodic table. They are known for their unreactive nature due to having a full outer shell of electrons.

    * Halogens are located in Group 17 of the periodic table. They are highly reactive and tend to gain one electron to achieve a full outer shell.

    Helium has a full outer shell of electrons (2 electrons), making it extremely stable and unreactive. This is a characteristic of noble gases.
