Does a group 8 elements like neon needs to bond to other elements to stable?

No. These elements were long known as the "noble gasses" and in fact it was long believed they could not form compounds. Only relatively recently was it discovered that these elements can form compounds with highly reactive elements such as Fluorine and Chlorine. But Ne2? Xe2? No way.

What are elements that don't react rapidly with other elements called?
stable or unreactive elements. and If you are looking for the group, The Noble Gases are the most unreactive group of elements.
What are the three elements in gold group?
The other stable elements in the same periodic column as gold are copper and silver.
How is stable transition elements formed?
It is IMPOSSIBLE to form elements of any kind or group other than by nuclear processes. There is no special one for transition elements.
What is the part of the periodic table that has elements that do not chemically react?
All of them tend not to react with each other until you get lower down the group
Which family of elements contains elements that are highly unreactive?
Group (or family) 18, also known as the noble gases, are elements that are completely stable and rarely react with other elements.
What are the chemical properties of group 8 elements?
They don't have one. Group 8 is noble gasses.
Which group of elements could you not use in making fireworks?
Group 18 of the periodic table, or the inert / noble gases family because they are stable at 8 valence electrons and in result they tend to not react with other elements.
Why are Alkali metals so reactive?
Alkali Metals are group One elements and have one electron in their outer electron shell. In order to become stable they tend to lose an electron by reacting with something that needs an electron to become stable such as a group seven halogen. The Alkali Metal then become positive ions.This is because they only have on valance electron. This makes it easier to react with other elements and more often also.
Why is group 18 on Periodic Table of Elements considered inert?
The group 18 elements are considered inert because they rarely if ever interact with other elements. This is due to the fact that their outermost energy levels are full, which means they don't need to bond with other atoms to become stable.
Why is the carbon atom so stable?
carbon chemically bonds with another element in group 4, because it has 4 electrons in it's outer shell (that shell half complete) and needs 4 more so it could bond with 4 elements in group 1, 2 in group 2 ect... or it could bond with 1 in group 4 which would use the least amount of energy :) this was answered by a 14 year old ;) carbon needs 4 to become stable (that is C4) :) this was answered by a 12-year-old ;)
What don't stable elements do much with other elements?
React chemically.
Which region contain stable noble inert gases in other words which elements do not react with other element?
Noble gases are placed in the group 18 of the periodic table of elements; from about 50 years noble gases are not considered as totally inert elements.
