Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions.

Because they don't chemically react with anything to form a compound.


They are inert, They also have a full electron shell and never form Ions.

In extreme circumstances, They have got argon to react and form a compound.

What are some noble gases of ionic compounds?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally they will not accept / gain electrons and dont form ionic compounds.


What don't the noble gases form?

Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.


What are gases that do not form compounds with other elements called?

the noble gases


Elements that do not ordinarly form compounds are?

Noble gases.


Can noble gases form compounds that occur naturally in the environment?

No, noble gas compounds can only be produced artificially.

Are the Noble Gases very reactive with other elements and form many compounds?

No. The noble gases are inreactive and don't form compounds with other elements. This is because they have a full outer shell of electrons.
