Answer
Noble gases are largely unreactive because their outermost electron shells are completely filled (helium has a stable duplet of two electrons, while the other noble gases have an octet of eight electrons). With a full valence shell, they have no strong tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons, so they rarely take part in chemical reactions.

Rewrite the incorrect statements only by rectifying the incorrect word/s in the statement.
(a) Periodic table is based on the fundamental property atomic weight.
(b) Elements in the periodic table are arranged in seven horizontal rows called 'groups', which ends with an element having one electron in outermost shell.
(c) Period numbers i.e., 1, 2, 3 signifies the no. of electron shells of an element e.g. period 3 element 'Mg' has 2 shells.
(d) Across a period from left to right the no. of electron shells increases by one & the valence electron remains same.
(e) Group numbers i.e., 1, 2, 3 signifies the number of electron shells of an element.
(f) Down a sub-group, the valence electrons & the number of electron shells remains same.
Correct the order of elements in period 1 to 3 of the periodic table & state their correct electronic configurations.
