Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. 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 / ions under normal conditions.

Where do the noble gases get their name?

These gases generally dont react with any other elements and hence are considered 'noble'.


What do noble gas configurations have in common?

the dont have many atoms


Why dont noble gases need to make compoundswith other elements?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals (octet of electrons), they are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive).

How do the physical and chemical properties of the haogens compare with those of the noble gases?

noble gases really are just that: noble. they dont react to things easily. halogens on the other hand, do react extremely easily. that is one of the main differences between the two.


Why are the noble gases not included on the table of electronegativities?

they already have full shells so they dont tend to form compounds


Why dont noble gases bond with other elements?

Noble gases have stable octets, meaning they have 8 electrons on their outest shell, which is the max electrons the shell can hold. Since noble gases' outer shells are full, they cannot share or gain electrons from other atoms therefore they do not bond.


Is oxyegen a noble gas?

noble gases are those gases which dont react with anything. they are also called inert gases. oxygen is not one of them because it does react; infact, all the burning processes cant take place without oxygen.


Do noble gases tend to form cations?

Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.


What are some noble gases of ionic compounds?

Noble gases do not typically form ions in chemical compounds because they have a full valence shell and are stable. However, they can form weak interactions in certain compounds, such as inclusion complexes.


Why don't the noble gases have an electron affinity value?

Noble gases have a full valence shell of electrons, so they are stable and do not readily gain or lose electrons. This stability leads to very low electron affinity values for noble gases, as they do not have a strong tendency to attract additional electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration.


Why do noble gases usually dont form chemical bonds?

Their outer energy shell is full of electrons and so it does not need to form a bond to fulfil this.
