What kind of bond does helium form?

Well, if you mean: "what kind of bond does helium form with other helium atoms?". Then i would have to say: "none". Helium is monoatomic gas (fancy words for: "it doesn't bond as the atomic layer (1st) is filled- with 2 electrons).


What are 2 atoms that will not bond chemically?

Helium will not bond with anything. Platinum will bond only with fluorine (and under special conditions). So, helium and oxygen will not bond, platinum and silicon will not bond, etc.


Which elements radium lead iodine neon and caesium would be most likely to bond with other atoms?

Lead would be the most likely to bond with other atoms due to its ability to form different types of bonds. Iodine and caesium are also likely to bond with other atoms due to their reactivity. Neon is least likely to bond with other atoms as it is a noble gas and already has a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive. Radium is also unlikely to bond with other atoms due to its radioactivity and instability.


If two atoms of nitrogen were to join together to form a bond between themselves and obey the octet rule would their bond be likely to be ionic or covalent?

The bond formed between two nitrogen atoms would most likely be a covalent bond. This is because nitrogen atoms are nonmetals and tend to share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, rather than transferring electrons to form an ionic bond.


Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and fluorine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?

A covalent bond is most likely to occur between nitrogen and oxygen. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. Nitrogen and oxygen have similar electronegativities, making them more likely to form a covalent bond.


Why potassium and Helium not likely to form and ionic bond?

helium has completely filled orbitals and does not react with any element.


Is several chlorine atoms atoms likely to form a metallic bond yes or no?

no


In which case is an atom least likely to bond with other atoms?

An atom is least likely to bond with other atoms when its outer electron shell is full, so it is stable and does not need to gain or lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell. Examples include noble gases like helium, neon, and argon.


If a molecule contains two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms what can you conclude about the bond between the carbon atoms?

If a molecule contains two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms, you can conclude that the two carbon atoms are likely bonded together by a single covalent bond. This kind of bond would allow each carbon atom to have a full outer electron shell and satisfy the octet rule.


What atoms are likely to gain one or more electrons when they bond with other atoms?

nonmetals


Why doesn't the He2 molecule form?

Atoms bond to get a full outer shell of electrons. For example, a hydrogen atom needs to gain 1 electron to achieve a full outer shell of 2. So it will bond with another hydrogen atoms and a pair of electrons is shared between them. Helium, however already has a full outer shell and so is most stable without bonds.


How can one determine if a bond is polar or nonpolar without relying on electronegativity?

One can determine if a bond is polar or nonpolar by looking at the symmetry of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical and the atoms on either side of the bond are the same, the bond is likely nonpolar. If the molecule is asymmetrical or the atoms on either side of the bond are different, the bond is likely polar.
