How can tell whether or not an element will react with other elements?

On the Periodic Table, there are periods that are rows, and groups that are columns. Elements in the same group react like the other elements in the group.

Wiki User
∙ 8y agoDepending on how many valence electrons in the element has, The other element could take away a valence electron to make eight
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes they can. Although if they react this then becomes chemically combined, so therefore becomes a compound.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, elements react with other elements to achieve stability. When they do, compounds are formed.
E.g. sodium [element] + chlorine [element] -> sodium chloride [compound]

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoBy seeing how many valence electrons they have. If it has 8 it wont react more or less it will.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoI depends on the element, some can be very reactive like fluorine (F) or hydrogen (H) and some don't react with anything, like the noble gases.

What elements are least likely to react with other element?
Nobel gasses.
How can an element that does not react easily with other elements be useful?
This property can be useful in containing substances, like if you want to contain liquid nitrogen you would use an iron container (or practically any other element because nitrogen is almost inert) because the two elements don't interact with each other.
What is the compatibility of neon with other elements?
No, it doesn't normally react with other elements.
Why won't stable elements react?
Stable elements do not react because they don't need to. Elements react so that they can gain stability( as stability is gained by filling the outer most shell of the atom). As stable elements already have full outer shells and are stable , they do not react.
What does not ordinarily react?
There are quite a few elements that do not normally react. These elements are all found in the Noble Gas family.
How can you tell whether an element will react with other elements?
If one is acidic, and one is basic.
What happens to the properties of elements when they react with other elements?
what happens to the properties of elements when they react with each other element
How can you tell whether or not an element will react other elements?
Depending on how many valence electrons in the element has, The other element could take away a valence electron to make eight
What element does neon react to?
Neon does not react with other elements.
How does the element selenium react?
Selenium react with the majority of other chemical elements.
How can you tell whether or not nitrogen the element will react with other elements?
By seeing how many valence electrons Nitrogen has, it does, it reacts with oxygen to make nitrous oxide
What other element does americium react with?
Americium is a very reactive metal and can react with the majority of other chemical elements.
Explain why helium does not react with other element to form a compounds?
why helium does not react with other elements to form compounds
What elements are least likely to react with other element?
Nobel gasses.
Does being an isotope change how that element will react with other elements yes or no?
No.
Will the element americium combine with other elements?
Americium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of other chemical elements.
Can any element combine with any other element?
No. Kryptonite is a nobel gas, and doesn't react with any other elements.
