What else can I help you with?
What is a group of elements that rarely combine with other elements because they already have eight electrons in their outer shells?
A group of elements that rarely combine with other elements because they already have eight electrons in the outer shells is a Noble Gas
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)
Will californium combine with other elements?
Yes, californium can form compounds with other elements due to its radioactive nature and high reactivity. It can potentially combine with elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens to form various compounds.
Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?
The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.
Elements combine with chlorine iodine bromine and fluorine?
Metals are particularly likely to combine chemically with the halogens you listed, but I will add that almost every element on the periodic table (with the exception of the noble gases) will combine with at least some of the halogens.
Would silicon combine with any other elements?
Yes it combines with many nonmetals such as halogens, oxygen, sulfur etc. Generally form covalent bonds with these elements.
What can chromium combine with?
Chromium can combine with various elements to form different compounds. For example, it can combine with oxygen to form chromium oxide, with carbon to form chromium carbide, and with sulfur to form chromium sulfide. Additionally, chromium can also combine with other metals to form alloy compounds.
Does rubidium combine with other elements?
Rubidium is a typical group 1 alkali metal and is highly reactive, and similar to sodium and potassium.
Can carbon combine with other elements?
Yes. This branch of Chemistry is called Organic Chemistry. Carbon in particular reacts with Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and the halogens.
Which two families of elements often combine to form ''salts''?
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
Why does group 1 elements prefer to combine with group 17 elements?
Group 1 elements (alkali metals) prefer to combine with Group 17 elements (halogens) because alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell, which they can easily donate to achieve a stable electron configuration. Halogens, on the other hand, have seven electrons in their outer shell and can easily accept an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This electron transfer results in the formation of ionic compounds between alkali metals and halogens.
Can neptonium combine with other elements?
Neptunium can form compounds with various elements, including oxygen, halogens, and metals. It typically exhibits various oxidation states in these compounds, allowing for a range of chemical interactions.
