Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

∙ 11y agoBecause the gases do have a few reactions, they are often known these days as the noble gases rather than the inert gases. In the same way that the 'nobles' didn't mix with the common people, the noble gases don't react much with the other elements. Helium, neon and argon have still not been made to react with any other elements at all. These chemical reactions really are impossible...or are they?

∙ 13y agoIt is because the elements and other substances react to attain a stable state.
The noble gases are already in a stable state.Hence they are unreative and form compounds rarely.
Only heavier gases like Krypton and Xenon form compounds.

∙ 13y agoNoble gases are highly unreactive, because they already have the noble gas configuraton (duplet or octet). As their valence shell is full, they are already very stable and hence do not need to form compounds to gain stability.

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.
Why dont noble gases chemically bond with another element or each other?
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 donot form compounds under normal conditions.
Are noble gas flamable'?
if u put fire by it maby I dont really know, do you?
Is oxyegen a noble gas?
noble gases are those gases which dont react with anything. they are also called inert gases. oxygen is not one of them because it does react; infact, all the burning processes cant take place without oxygen.
What dont noble gases normally form chemical bonds?
they have a full outermost energy level.
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.
Why are the noble gases not included on the table of electronegativities?
they already have full shells so they dont tend to form compounds
How do the physical and chemical properties of the haogens compare with those of the noble gases?
noble gases really are just that: noble. they dont react to things easily. halogens on the other hand, do react extremely easily. that is one of the main differences between the two.
Where do the noble gases get their name?
These gases generally dont react with any other elements and hence are considered 'noble'.
Why dont noble gases chemically bond with another element or each other?
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 donot form compounds under normal conditions.
Why dont noble gases need to make compoundswith other elements?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals (octet of electrons), they are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive).

What dont noble gases normally form chemical bonds?
they have a full outermost energy level.
Do noble gases tend to form cations?
Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.
Do noble gases share electrons?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions. However under high temperature and high pressure, krypton and xenon from covalent bonds with fluorine and oxygen.
Why dont noble gases bond with other elements?
Noble gases have stable octets, meaning they have 8 electrons on their outest shell, which is the max electrons the shell can hold. Since noble gases' outer shells are full, they cannot share or gain electrons from other atoms therefore they do not bond.
