The elements that apply are argon, neon and helium. These elements are called inert gasses and have unique properties that make them unreactive. These elements are so unreactive that they are classified as chemically inert. The elements belong to a group in the periodic table known as the Noble Gases. They belong to family 18 of the periodic table and have atoms with 8 valence electrons. This configuration causes the gases to be unreactive.

This is really late but for anyone who still needs it, it is 2) helium, 6) neon, and 7) argon. I know for a fact this is correct because i just took the review 🙂
I am pretty sure the answers are helium, neon, argon because they are in Group 18 which they fulfill the octet rule, which means they have a full valence shell.
