Know the Answer?

Dayton Shields · Answer 1

Neon is an non-reactive gas because it has a full outer shell of electrons and therefore, does not need to combine with other elements to gain or have a share in a full outer shell of electrons. (The only reason that elements combine is to have a share or gain a full outer shell of electrons)

Shane Roberson · Answer 2

Because of the outer shells they don't need to be combined
