Why can't argon bond?
Argon can't bond because there are 8 valence electrons, which fulfills the octet rules.
What is the Electron configuration for the argon atom?
The electronic configuration of Argon (Ar) is - 8,8,8 because its in group 8 and is inert because it has a full octet. Happy to help ;)
What Are The Balanced Equations For Argon?
Argon has chemical symbol Ar. The balanced equations will depend on what other reactants are present, but argon being a noble gas tends to be unreactive due to its stable octet electronic structure.
What is the ionic charge of argon?
Argon doesn't have an ionic charge because it is a noble element which means that it neither gains nor loses electrons. Note- see octet rule :)
Why the atomic size of argon is more than chlorine?
The size of argon is greater than chlorine because of the interelectronic repulsions start taking place when an atom attain its octet
Is argon a diatom?
No, argon exists as single atoms as it has a full outer shell (full octet)
Why can't argon bond?
Argon can't bond because there are 8 valence electrons, which fulfills the octet rules.
Can argon gas hurt you?
Argon has completely filled orbitals, satisfies octet rule and is chemically inert. So argon gas cannot harm human body.
Why is Ar a noble gas and not Zn?
Argon has a full valance shell, an octet, while zinc does not.
Is argon a reactive element?
Not really. Argon is a Nobel gas with a full valance octet; 8 valance electrons that do not need to accept or donate electrons to be '' happy. ''
What is the Electron configuration for the argon atom?
The electronic configuration of Argon (Ar) is - 8,8,8 because its in group 8 and is inert because it has a full octet. Happy to help ;)
What Are The Balanced Equations For Argon?
Argon has chemical symbol Ar. The balanced equations will depend on what other reactants are present, but argon being a noble gas tends to be unreactive due to its stable octet electronic structure.
What is special about the electronic structure of argon?
Argon has completely filled orbitals. It obeys octet rule (8 electrons in the valence orbitals / shells) and is stable and chemically inert
What family already has an octet?
The noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon).
Why the atomic size of argon is more than chlorine?
The size of argon is greater than chlorine because of the interelectronic repulsions start taking place when an atom attain its octet
What is the ionic charge of argon?
Argon doesn't have an ionic charge because it is a noble element which means that it neither gains nor loses electrons. Note- see octet rule :)
Which is more reactive chlorine or argon?
Argon is chemically inert due to the presence of filled orbitals. Chlorine is highly reactive as it requires one more electron to gain octet.
