Noble gases used to be called "Inert". This is because they don't naturally react. About 40 years ago, scientists managed to force a noble

gas to bond, for example some are used in explosives. However, naturally they have never been found bonded.

What are noble gases relative activity?

Very low activity.


What kind of bonding is noble gases and metals?

Noble gases typically do not form bonds with metals. They have full valence shells, making them very stable and unreactive. Metals tend to form bonds with nonmetals to achieve a stable electron configuration through ionic or covalent bonding.


How do noble gases differ from other elements in terms of bonding behavior?

Noble gases differ from other elements in bonding behavior because they are generally unreactive and do not readily form chemical bonds with other elements. This is because noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and less likely to gain or lose electrons to form bonds.


Why atoms of noble gases don't easily form bonds?

Ther are no available electrons in any orbitals that are available for bonding

Will all elements combine with other elements?

in nuclear fusion i assume it is theoretically possible to combine any elements but in terms of chemical bonding, no some elements ie noble gases are very nonreactive, though the heavier noble gases do form compounds with oxygen and fluorine.


Helium neon argon or krypton what are they called?

They're all Noble gases.


What are valence electrons and how do they relate to the noble gases?

Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (or outermost energy level or outermost orbital) in an atom. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons. But helium (a noble gas) has only 2 valence electrons.


Why are noble gases are non reactive?

They have filled valence shells. Atoms undergo chemical bonding in order to have filled valence shells by sharing electrons or transferring electrons. Because the noble gases already have filled valence shells, they have no need to react with other elements.
