Which of the following elements is a noble gas?
- Iron (Fe)
- Bromine (Br)
- Neon (Ne)
- Nitrogen (N)
Correct Answer

A. Neon (Ne)

Explanation

Neon (Ne) is a noble gas because it belongs to the group 18 of the periodic table. Noble gases are known for their stable and unreactive nature due to having a full outer electron shell. Neon specifically has a full outer shell with 8 electrons, making it highly stable and unreactive. In contrast, Iron (Fe), Bromine (Br), and Nitrogen (N) are not noble gases as they do not have full outer electron shells and are more likely to form chemical bonds with other elements.
