The elements with atomic numbers 10, 18, 36, 54 are-

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Inert gases.
· The elements with atomic numbers 10, 18, 36, and 54 correspond to Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), and Xenon (Xe) respectively.
· These elements are part of Group 18 on the periodic table, known as the noble gases or inert gases.
· Inert gases are characterized by their lack of reactivity due to their complete valence electron shells, making them very stable and unlikely to form chemical compounds under normal conditions.

· Light Metals: Typically refers to metals such as lithium, beryllium, sodium, and others that are low in density and highly reactive, particularly with water.
· Rare Earths: A set of 17 chemically similar elements, including the lanthanides, plus scandium and yttrium, known for their importance in electronics, magnets, and other advanced technologies.
· Halogens: Elements in Group 17 of the periodic table, such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, known for their high reactivity and tendency to form salts when combined with metals.
