Is element 118 a noble gas?
gpt
In some ways, this is a meaningless question.

The term "noble gas" refers to chemical properties, and element 118 doesn't exist long enough to really do chemistry (in a real, macroscopic sense). Secondly, as you go down the periodic table to heavier atoms, all of the "rules" that terms like "noble gas" and "halogen" are based off of become a lot less fixed. For example, the noble gasses go from "doesn't react" to "yeah, you can make stable compounds of this and put it in a bottle". By that point, the term itself doesn't mean a heck of a lot.
