The heavier noble gases have more electron shells than the lighter ones. Hence, the outermost electrons experience a shielding effect from the inner electrons that makes them more easily ionized, since they are less strongly attracted to the positively-charged nucleus. This results in an ionization energy low enough to form stable compounds with the most electronegative elements, fluorine and oxygen, and even with less electronegative elements such as nitrogen and carbon under certain circumstances.

What elements easily bond with Xenon?
I don't think any element can easily , or even bond with Xenon. Xenon is a noble gas with enough electrons on the outermost shell, therefore it exist alone like other noble gas such as helium, argon in the same group: Group 0.
Why the chemical properties of argon krypton and xenon are similar even though there are 18 elements between argon and krypton and 32 elements between krypton and xenon?
All have the outermost shell of electrons completely filled.
Why do the noble gases not from compound readily?
Their outer energy levels are completely filled with electrons None of the noble gases form compounds easily. No compounds of helium and Neon are known. Compounds of Xe, Kr and Rn and recently even Ar are known however they are difficult to prepare and reactive and some are quite unstable.
When elements that are never found free in nature but are always found combined in a compound are the?
Any element that's not a noble gas has to form compounds, because all non-noble elements have to fill its outer orbital and the only way they can do that is to form compounds--even with themselves, like H2 or O2.
What type of bond do noble gases form?
Noble gases do not react, and therefore do not form any bonds with other elements. This is because noble gases already have a full electron count. In other words, they already have a sufficient number of electrons to fill their electron shell.
How do you extract xenon to it's pure form?
You don't have to be worried about xenon's purity, since it is a noble gas and even though its compounds with fluorine had been reported, these compounds are unstable. Therefore, you can extract xenon in pure form without worrying about contamination.However, xenon is extremely rare and hard to extract from any source. You can liquefy fin air to the liquid state (liquid oxygen, nitrogen and noble gases). Here you can find traces of xenon gas and others like krypton, argon... To extract xenon out of the other substances, you can either use silica gel or distillation to get pure xenon with a minimum level of other noble gases. Another source is from mineral spring, but it's also a hard job.

Which elements will react with other elements?
All elements except for Helium, Neon, will undergo some sort of chemical reaction. Even compounds of tghe inert/noble gases Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon have been made and isolated.
What element is most like radon gas?
Xenon gas even though it is not radioactive.
What elements are used to form compounds?
Just about all of them! The noble gases are very rarely combined into compounds, but even some of them (most often Xe) can be combined to form a compound (the other noble gases, Ne, He, Ar, and Kr almost never react to form a compound though).
What noble gas is found only as a compound?
No noble gas is found as a compound. They have to be forced into forming compounds, and some cannot even be made so then.
Which element is present in most compounds?
Even though amount of carbon on earth is not very large but it makes the most no. of compounds.

Element used in electric signs?
Any of the noble gases. This can be Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon or even Radon. Neon, for example, makes red. Krypton makes a blue colour.
Does hydrogen combine with other elements?
yes it can combine to other element, because the element water is a combination of a hydrogen and oxygen.
When elements that are never found free in nature but are always found combined in a compound are the?
Any element that's not a noble gas has to form compounds, because all non-noble elements have to fill its outer orbital and the only way they can do that is to form compounds--even with themselves, like H2 or O2.
