The electron configuration of the noble gasses are such that the valence shell (the outer most shell of electrons) is filled up with eight electrons. the outermost shell of electrons can only fit eight and the noble gasses already have all eight.

Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, typically do not form chemical bonds with other atoms due to their stable electron configurations.

What is the electron affinity value and which elements have a zero value?

Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom. Elements with a zero electron affinity value include neon, helium, and argon because they have stable electron configurations and do not readily accept additional electrons.


The elements Li and F combine to form an ionic compound The electron configurations in this compound are the same as the electron configurations of atoms in which group?

The electron configurations of LiF will be the same as the electron configurations of atoms in Group 18 (noble gases) because Li will lose its single electron to attain a stable octet similar to the noble gases, while F will gain an electron to achieve a complete valence shell.

What is a pseudo-noble gas?

Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.
