What else can I help you with?
Are all noble gases mono atomic?
Yes. all are mono atomic
What are the examples of mono atomic elements?
All of the metallic elements and the noble gases are normally mono-atomic.
What are the other gases found in the periodic table?
Mono-atomic gases: Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Di-atomic gases: Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine.
What compounds do not contain molecules?
Mono atomic gaseous elements of noble gases (group 18)
Is nitrogen and oxygen mono atomic?
No. The only monatomic elements are the so-called noble gases.
What kind of noble gas is monatomic?
All noble gases are mono atomic at room temperature
Why is the specific heat of poly atomic gases is higher than that of mono atomic gases?
Diatomic gases can absorb heat to increase their vibrational and rotational energy in addition to their translational energy. Monatomic gases have no bonds to vibrate or rotate.
Why are inert gases mono atomic?
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 under normal conditions and are mono atomic
Is the molecule of a noble gas the same as the atom of a noble gas?
Yes. as all noble gases are mono atomic.
Why the forces of attraction in noble gases are weak?
Noble gases are mono atomic and are non polar. They are hence held together by van der Waals forces of attraction which is a weak force of attraction.
Why noble gases exist either in atomic form or in molecular form?
They have completely filled valence electrons, hence are stable, chemically inert. So they exist as mono atomic species and not as molecules
Why noble gases do not exist as molecules?
They have completely filled valence electrons, hence are stable, chemically inert. So they exist as mono atomic species and not as molecules
