Why do noble gases rarely combine with atoms of any other element?

Noble gases have 8 valence electrons (except helium which has 2), have completely filled orbitals and hence stable electronic configuration. Hence they do not react with other element at S.T.P.

What are elements that rarely combine with other elements called?
The Inert Gases of Group 0 rarely combine with other elements as they are (exc. Radon) extremely unreactive. The Inert Gases are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenon(Radon)
Can a molecule of an element be same as its atom?
yes because the atoms of two gases, hydrogen and oxygen, can combine together to form water, which is a liquid............
Why do noble gases combine with atoms of any other element?
Noble gases are generally unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, making them stable. However, under certain conditions such as high pressure or high temperature, noble gases can react with atoms of other elements to form compounds. This occurs as these conditions can force electrons from the noble gas to form bonds with other atoms, allowing them to combine.
Why do gases rarely form bonds with other atoms?
the nobel gases are already stable, with full octets of valence electrons
Why do atom combine?
Atoms can combine only if they are having an incomplete valence shell. They combine to attain an octet structure. They can also share electrons. There are some elements whose atoms do not combine, they are the inert gases.
What type of molecules are formed when atoms of different elements combine?
A combination of two atoms of different elements results in a molecule. A combination of two atoms of the same exact element results in two atoms of the same element stuck together, not a molecule. There is no name for this that I know of. --------- 1. Two oxygen atoms: a molecule of oxygen - O2. Many gases has diatomic molecules. Ozone has three oxygen atoms in molecule. 2. Allotropes can be formed from many atoms: allotropes of carbon, sulfur, phosphorus.
Which family does not easily combine with other atoms?
Noble gases does not easily combine with other elementsbecause they are stable and have complete outermost shell.
What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.
How does atoms combine to form molecules?
They can combine in lots of ways. Some reactive elements will combine on their own but others need heating to combine. Noble gases (krypton, argon, xenon, helium, neon and radon) do not react (combine) with other atoms.
What element is least likely to combine with another element for form a compound?
The elements in the family Group 0 - Inert Gases (exc. Radon) will not usually combine with other substances, as this group is highly unreactive. Inert Gases; Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon (Radon)
Why a single atom of an element would be found in earths atmosphere?
Single atoms of an element existing by themselves can do so if they are noble gases. ~IHATEe2020~
Atoms combine when what happens?
uncomplete atoms attract each other sort of like a magnet. when they 'stick' together they are then called a molecule but there are atoms that do not form together because they are complete. they are called Noble Gases.
