Are inert gases in the same group of the periodic table?

Answer 1

Yes

The VIIIA group, also known as the Noble Gases, includes all inert gases.

It is not necessary to add or remove electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration for any of these gases, as they all have one with the outmost electron shell fully filled and no normally useable electrons.

Helium has an electron configuration of # 1 s^2# which fills the first shell. All the other inert gases have the general electron configuration of #s^2p^6#

Indeed, inert gases, also referred to as noble gases, belong to the same periodic table group (Group 18).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
