One of these species reacts with fluorine to form square planar tetrafluoride and octahedral hexafluoride molecules, and another of these can bind with a proton to form a hydride thought to be present in interstellar space. A shorthand method of writing an atom's electron configuration involves putting one of these elements in brackets, followed by any remaining valence electrons.

One of these species reacts with fluorine to form square planar tetrafluoride and octahedral hexafluoride molecules, and another of these can bind with a proton to form a hydride thought to be present in interstellar space. A shorthand method of writing an atom's electron configuration involves putting one of these elements in brackets, followed by any remaining valence electrons. These species' stability comes from their completely filled p subshells, an exception being a member of this group with atomic number two. For 10 points, name these chemical elements which include neon and helium, known for their full valence shells and limited reactivity under standard conditions.
