What do other elements do to acquire a noble gas configuration?
Other elements can acquire a noble gas configuration by either gaining or losing electrons. Elements on the left side of the periodic table, such as alkali metals, tend to lose electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration. Elements on the right side of the periodic table, such as halogens, tend to gain electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration. Elements in the middle of the periodic table may gain or lose electrons to acquire a noble gas configuration, depending on the specific element and its properties.
What is the part of the periodic table that has elements that do not chemically react?
All of them tend not to react with each other until you get lower down the group
Why do elements need to attain a noble gas configuration?
All the elements in their normal state are reactive and unstable. In order to attain stability i.e. a state of minimum energy, they tend to form ions by loosing or gaining electrons. By doing so, they achieve stable electronic configuration or noble gas configuration. However, some elements do not form ions. Instead of that, two such atoms share electrons with each other and achieve this noble gas configuration. At the end, the main reason for attaining a noble gas configuration is to attain max. stability and min. energy.
Which group of elements could you not use in making fireworks?
Group 18 of the periodic table, or the inert / noble gases family because they are stable at 8 valence electrons and in result they tend to not react with other elements.
When atoms are forming chemical bonds they are trying to reach what configuration?
The octet rule is a simple rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electron configuration as a noble gas. The rule is applicable to the main-group elements. In simple terms, molecules or ions tend to be most stable when the outermost electron shells of their constituent atoms contain eight electrons.
Why do elements tend to react?
Classic answer is to "satisfy" a full valance ring of electrons.

Why group 17 elements are strong non metals while group 1 elements are strong metals?
All elements tend to react with other elements so as to attain a noble gas electronic configuration in their ions, because such a configuration usually has the lowest energy for a particular atom or ion, other factors being equal. The drive to form such an ion is strongest when the electron configuration of an elemental atom differs from the closest noble gas configuration by only one electron, and this criterion is true for both group and group 17 elements: Group 1 elements can attain a noble gas electron configuration by donating one electron to another atom, and Group 17 elements can attain a noble gas configuration by accepting one electron, thereby filling their valence shell.
Is it true that some elements such as alkali metals tend to react more quickly than other elements such as noble gases?
I picked that as my answer in plato but it was wrong. I'm thinking all of the above.

What happens to atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
What is a neutral group of atoms joined by one or more covalent bonds?
The only group of neutral elements is the noble gases. They are in group 0. They are electronically stable elements that do not tend to react. They exist as single molecules.

What is the octate rule?
The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.An element will be stable once it has 8 valence electrons
Why do families have similar properties?
Families of elements on the periodic table tend to have similar properties because they share the same valence electron configuration. This dictates the type of bonds the elements will make, which has a large impact on the chemical and physical properties of the element.
Will Argon tend to form bonds with other elements?
No it will not because it has a filled outer layer/shell so it has a stable outer energy level as shown by its electronic configuration of 2:8:8
