What element makes stable bonds to itself and to atoms of other elements?

Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.


Why doesn't gold bond with anhy other elements?

Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.


How many carbon atoms can bond to a single hydrogen atom?

Atoms of elements have a fixed number of electrons that can bond with other atoms. Carbon has 4 electrons that can bond with other atoms. So 4 hydrogen atoms can bond with one carbon atom.


Why are the elements in group 18 always found by themselves and never in a compound with other elements?

The outer electron shells of their atoms are full, and they do not need more electrons from other atoms, so they do not easily bond.


How do atoms of matallic elements bond?

electrons float freely between atoms


Why zero group elements are mono atomic?

Zero group elements are considered monoatomic because they consist of single atoms that do not bond with each other. In a group with zero elements, there are no interactions or combinations possible between atoms, leading to monoatomic nature.


What is the likelihood of an element to bond is called?

The likelihood of an element to bond is called its electronegativity. This property is a measure of an element's ability to attract and share electrons with other atoms in a chemical bond. Elements with higher electronegativities are more likely to form bonds with other elements.


How bond forms when two atoms share one of more pairs of elements?

The positively charged nucleus of each of the atoms attracts the shared electrons of the other atom and thus forms the covalent bond.
