There are six in total: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. Noble gases are relatively unreactive. Until 45 years ago, noble gases were believed to be entirely ... go, noble gases were believed to be entirely inert because their oxidation number of 0 prevents the noble gases from forming compounds readily. Under normal conditions, noble gases occur as odorless, ...
