Will gold combine with other elements?

No, not that i know of, gold is highly unreactive.


Why don't group 0 elements react?

Because they are highly unreactive


What element is unreactant?

All the elements in the Inert Gases family (exc. Radon) are highly unreactive. The Inert Gases family occupies Group 18(0) of the Periodic Table. They each have 8 electrons in the outer shell. The Inert Gases Group contains;HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenonRADON


Which elements will not form bonds to other elements?

The elements in Group 0 - Inert Gases group are all highly unreactive and so don't combine with other elements.


What elements can be found in elemental form uncombined with other elements on earth?

Highly unreactive elements that will not chemically combine include: Platinum (Pt) Gold (Au) Helium (He) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Xe) Neon (Ne) The first two are unreactive because they are at the bottom of the metals reactivity series. The rest are unreactive because they are part of the inert gases.


What kind of nonmetal is xenon?

A colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element. Xenon and similar elements are called Noble Gases


What elements do not like to bond with other elements?

Any of the elements in Group 0 of the Periodic Table (exc. Radon) are highly unreactive and so, won't react with any elements. They are also known as the inert gases.


What do not actively combine with other elements?

The Group 0 - Inert Gases group are all (exc. Radon) highly unreactive, and so don't chemcially combine with other elements.


What keeps highly reactive elements from reacting?

Highly reactive elements can be kept from reacting by holding them in containers that are made of elements that are very unreactive (or at least not reactive to the highly reactive elements they contain). Unfortunately, the 6 known stable inert elements exist at room temperature only in gas form, so do not make good containers; however, some substances such as glass are very resilient and their molecular structures tend to be stable and unreactive (which is why glass is a common material for beakers and other containers to hold a wide -- but not unlimited -- variety of chemicals).


Is nitrogen a part of the noble gas family?

No. It is however highly unreactive, similar to noble gases (except under extreme conditions)


What group of elements does element xenon belong?

Xenon belongs to Group 0 - Inert Gases on the Periodic Table. These are highly unreactive elements and are situated on the right hand side of the Periodic Table.


What is the element that is not likely to react with another element?

There are several elements that will not react with any other elements. These elements are called the noble gases. They are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe) and Radon (Rn). P.S. Although radon will not react with any other elements, it is radioactive.
