on their own they are too reactive to be used therefore togethor they would work

What group of the periodic table is most combines most readily with other elements to form compounds?

Groups 1 and 17.


Why are the elements of group 1 and 7 are mostly used in the form of compounds?

no one ahs heard about it


Why are elements of group 1 alkali metals and group 7 halogens used as compounds and not as the free elements?

because god made it that way.


Which groups compose the mains group elements?

Main group elements have elements from groups 1 and 2, except hydrogen and groups 13 to 18. Main group elements are elements in groups who's lightest elements are shown by helium, lithium, boron, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.


Why do elements from group 1 and 7 exist mostly as compounds?

Because

Why are elements in groups 1 and 7 mostly used in the form of compounds?

In chemical education it is the most siplest start for explaining reaction equations: they react 1 to 1.


Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table?

Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table, for example Groups 1 and 17, form ionic compounds. Examples include LiCl, NaCl, KI, and RbBr. The elements in Group 1 are the alkali metals, and the elements in Group 17 are the halogens, which are nonmetals.


Why are the elements of groups 1 and 7 in the periodic table of the elements mostly used in the form of compounds?

The element's group's 1 to 7 are : 1)Hydrogen 2) Heline 3)Lithiume 4)Bery limb 5)Born 6)Carbon 7) Nitrogen 8)Oxygen 9) Florine 10)Neon _______________________________________________________________ i think so 1 to 15 are almost used in the compounds. Thank You,

Groups 1 and 17.


Why do chemists use compounds instead of group 1 and 7 elements?

It is because the group 1 and 7 elements have a high reactivity. The reactivity is far too high to use on there own because the elements in these groups react with air and/or water.

Why groups 1 and 2 form many compounds with 16 and 17?

Group 1 and 2 elements have 1 and 2 valence electrons respectively. Removal of these electrons will result in stable noble gas electronic configuration. Group 17 and 16 elements have 7 and 6 valence electrons respectively. Addition of 1 or 2 electrons to group 17 and 16 respectively will give them stable noble gas configuration. Hence these two groups are highly reactive and their elements will combine to form large number of compounds.
