They just discovered/made the seventh element in that column. It doesn't have a name yet, and I don't know enough to know if it too will be considered a noble gas.
I couldn't remember the last element so I had to catch the bus to my school to sneak a peek at the periodic table hung on the chemistry lab wall. All in all good quiz.
The recently named element 118 Oganesson [Og] by the IUPAC should be added to the list in order to complete the current noble gas group. Many thanks! Cheers
"Oganesson (Og) is variously predicted to be a noble gas as well or to break the trend due to relativistic effects; its chemistry has not yet been investigated. "
Maybe, maybe not! According to Wikipedia under "Noble gases": Oganesson (Og) is predicted to be a noble gas as well, but its chemistry has not yet been investigated.
For example, although oganesson is a member of group 18 – the first synthetic element to be so – it may be significantly reactive, unlike all the other elements of that group (the noble gases).
Huh interesting to hear this, I’d assumed that all the recently discovered elements were unstable metals... you learn something new on here every day :)

Got my own quiz, also called Noble Gases. It has the last element, the one that is not on this quiz. You should update this one, or at least do to it what I did I to mine. Otherwise, this is a great quiz
You don't know? You haven't seen every single other comment that has mentioned it for the last four years? You didn't bother even looking at the comments section?
It is very narrow-minded to assume that oganesson will turn out to be a noble gas - there's more to it than following a trend. I was at school with a boy called Luke. His elder brothers were Matthew and Mark. His younger brother? Timothy.

few atoms ever made, "you learn something new every day" is not about
Og, but we have enough for a tiresone Og quiz.
