Yes. Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

What are elements that rarely combine with other elements called?

The Inert Gases of Group 0 rarely combine with other elements as they are (exc. Radon) extremely unreactive. The Inert Gases are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenon(Radon)


What element is least likely to combine with another element for form a compound?

The elements in the family Group 0 - Inert Gases (exc. Radon) will not usually combine with other substances, as this group is highly unreactive. Inert Gases; Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon (Radon)


Can noble gases combine with each other?

Noble gases rarely combine with each other or with other elements due to their stable electron configuration. These elements already have a full outer electron shell, making them very unreactive under normal conditions.


Can helium and argon combine and form a substance?

No. Both are noble gases and do not combine with each other


Which family does not easily combine with other atoms?

Noble gases does not easily combine with other elementsbecause they are stable and have complete outermost shell.


Why do noble gases combine with atoms of any other element?

Noble gases are generally unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, making them stable. However, under certain conditions such as high pressure or high temperature, noble gases can react with atoms of other elements to form compounds. This occurs as these conditions can force electrons from the noble gas to form bonds with other atoms, allowing them to combine.


Why are a select group of elements referred to as the noble gases?

These are called noble or inert gases because their oxidation number of zero makes them least reactive which is due to maximum number of electrons possible in their outer shell..because they generally do not combine with other atoms to form compounds


What are elemets that are all unreactive gases that tend not to combine with other elements known as?

Those gases are called noble gases. They are i the 18th group of the periodic table.


Which element can potassium not combine with?

Potassium can not combine with noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, as they are already stable and do not readily form compounds with other elements.


Are noble gases outer energy levels to full to combine with other elements?

Yes they have full energy levels,this makes them stable.They are highly unreactive, to add on that ionisation is very high in noble gases.


Which elemetns are least likely to react with other elements?

These are the so-called noble gases.


Will all elements combine with other elements?

in nuclear fusion i assume it is theoretically possible to combine any elements but in terms of chemical bonding, no some elements ie noble gases are very nonreactive, though the heavier noble gases do form compounds with oxygen and fluorine.
