Question

According to their locations on the Periodic Table, argon (Ar) and neon (Ne) are

A. Ionic
B. Radioactive
C. Liquid metals
D. Noble gases

Answer 1

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atomic number of neon is 10 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8. On the other hand, atomic number of argon is 18 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8.

As both these elements have completely filled orbital and they have 8 valence electrons. Hence, both of them belongs to group 18 which is also known as noble gas group.

In the Periodic table, neon lies in period 2 and group 18. On the other hand, argon lies in period 3 and group 18.

Thus, we can conclude that according to their locations on the Periodic Table, argon (Ar) and neon (Ne) are noble gases.

Answer 2

Your answer would be (D), Noble Gases, or Inert Gases - The far right on the periodic table is also known as Group(0)., or Group 18 on the periodic table. Elements in this group includes, Neon(NE), Argon(AR), Krypton(KR), Xenon(XE), and Radon(RN).
