Question

which feature is unique to group 18 nonmetals? (1 point)
they are very reactive.
they are very nonreactive.
they follow a different pattern of reactivity.
they have more exceptions to reactivity rules.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Group 18 nonmetals (noble gases) have full valence electron shells. This electron configuration makes them very stable and thus very nonreactive under normal conditions. In contrast, reactive elements (like Group 1 metals) have incomplete valence shells and readily gain, lose, or share electrons. Group 18 elements don't follow a "different pattern" or have "more exceptions" - their non - reactivity is a well - understood and consistent property due to their electron configuration.

Answer:

They are very nonreactive.
