Which of the following statements about rare gases are correct?
Answer Details
The correct statement about rare gases is: - Their outermost shells are fully filled Explanation: Rare gases, also known as noble gases, are elements in Group 18 of the periodic table. They have a complete outermost electron shell, which makes them stable and unreactive. The filled outermost shell is the reason behind their low reactivity with other elements. Therefore, the statement that their outermost shells are fully filled is correct. The other options are incorrect as they do not apply to the properties of rare gases.
