What do other elements do to acquire a noble gas configuration?

Other elements can acquire a noble gas configuration by either gaining or losing electrons. Elements on the left side of the periodic table, such as alkali metals, tend to lose electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration. Elements on the right side of the periodic table, such as halogens, tend to gain electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration. Elements in the middle of the periodic table may gain or lose electrons to acquire a noble gas configuration, depending on the specific element and its properties.

What causes a compound to be formed from elements?

Every element that isn't a noble gas, wants to become isoelectronic or have the same number of electrons as its nearest noble gas. This is because noble gases are very stable, while other elements aren't. Forming compounds allows elements to gain or lose electrons, which allows them to become like their nearest noble gas.


What is the relationship between helium and a noble gas?

Helium is considered to be a noble gas as it has completely filled orbitals like other elements of group 18 (noble gases) and is also chemically inert.
