What kind of electronic configuration is attained by chemically inert substances?
Chemically inert substances except helium contain 8 electrons in their outermost shells i.e., outermost shells are completely filled. Helium has only two electrons in its outermost shell, but that is the maximum capacity of its outermost shell. Argon with atomic number 18 has the stable configuration : 2, 8, 8. Thus, substance whose atom has 8 electron in their outermost shell is a chemically inert substance.
