Noble Gases

[saintpeter48]

Just watched an episode of the quiz show The Chase, question was, How many noble gases are there? Chaser answered 6, Bradley Walsh said it was incorrect and that there were 7. I googled it and everywhere seems to say that there are indeed 6!! Who is right?

IF you look here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

There are seven and it only depends on whether element 118 has been made or not

( or else they named it in advance just in case someone makes it soon )

elements with high numbers are called trans-uranide
and I cant keep up with who has made what and when....

I stopped concentrating after Lawrencium (Lr)which I think is 103

I stopped after Toratoratorium.
