Question

Which of the following is NOT a property of noble gases?
  1. A
    They form stable covalent compounds readily
    Correct
  2. B
    They have high ionisation energies
  3. C
    They are monatomic
  4. D
    They have complete outer shells

Correct answer

They form stable covalent compounds readily

Explanation

Noble gases (Group 18) have complete outer shells and very high ionisation energies. They rarely form compounds. XeF₂, XeF₄, XeO₃ exist for Xe (low IE in Group 18), but stable covalent compounds are NOT a general property.
