Do metalloids or noble gases form cations?
Metals form cations by the complete transfer of electrons. Metalloids and some noble gases generally form covalent bonds
Do noble gases have a weak intermolecular force?
The covalent bond is an intramolecular bond.An example of compound having covalent bonds is carbon dioxide - CO2.
How can metal elements achieve a stable electron-shell structure like those of the noble gases?
Covalent bonding
What happens when two noble gases are combined?
Noble gases do not react chemically with other noble gases.
What are the noble gases in Column 18 called?
inert gases / noble gases
Which has a higher covalent radius cations or noble gases?
noble gases have larger radius than cations.
Why are noble gasses unlikely to form covalent bonds?
Noble gases already have a full valence shell.
What kind of element combines in covalent bond?
Almost any element, including most of the noble gases, can form covalent bonds, but non-metallic elements other than the noble gases form the most.
What types of elements will you not find in a covalent bond?
Metals, metalloids, and noble gases.
Do metalloids or noble gases form cations?

Do noble gases have a weak intermolecular force?
The covalent bond is an intramolecular bond.An example of compound having covalent bonds is carbon dioxide - CO2.
Why aren't noble gases liquids or solids at room temperature?
Noble gases can't have a metallic, ionic or covalent bonds because their outer shells are full, therefore they are stable. They are gases because their molecules are far apart, causing its gaseous phase.
How can metal elements achieve a stable electron-shell structure like those of the noble gases?
Covalent bonding
What are the two ways elements bond?
Elements , with the exception of the noble gases which are monoatomic, are either covalent (solids eg diamond, liquid, bromine, gases, e.g. oxygen and nitrogen ) or metals and therefore element's contain covalent or metallic bonds.
The elements that do not ordinarily form compounds are?
Noble gases do not normally form compounds.
What atom is least likely to form a polar covalent bond with carbon?
Each of the Noble gases. They don't bond with anything.
What happens when two noble gases are combined?
Noble gases do not react chemically with other noble gases.
