Does a noble gas form when electrons transfer from one atom to another and a bond forms?

No. Noble gases exist in nature, and are chemical elements. These are the six noble gases:
Helium (He)
Neon (Ne)
Argon (Ar)
Krypton (Kr)
Xenon (Xe)
and the radioactive Radon (Rn)

Which group contains eight valence electrons?
Group 18 contains eight valence electrons, namely the noble gases.
Which ion has no electrons?
All elements have electrons, when the amount of electrons they have changes they are called ions. They only element that forms an ion with no electrons is Hydrogen (H). To learn more about electrons and ions you should inquire about electron configuration.
How many valence electrons do argon has?
Argon is a noble gas. All noble gasses have 8 valence electrons. Thus argon has 8 valence electrons as well.
What happens to an atom of magnesium when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
study island answer- It gives up two electrons
What is the different ways in which atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of noble gasses with an example?
Metals like sodium,potassium get noble gas configuration by losing electrons. Elements like nitrogen,oxygen get noble gas configuration by gaining electrons. Halogens get noble gas configuration by sharing electrons.
How can elements achieve the configuration of noble gases?
By transfer or sharing of electrons.
Noble gases have a set of eight outermost electrons which forms what?
It forms an octet / stable electronic configuration
Why are the noble gases not likely to form compounds?
The noble gases already have their full set of valence electrons. They don't need to share or transfer any of their electrons with other molecules.
What is another word for noble gases?
Another word for a noble gas is an inert gas. These elements have the maximum electrons in their highest energy level.
What atom has the same number of electrons as in ion of calcium?
calcium forms Ca+2 ion having 18 electrons which are equal to the electrons of noble gas Argon.
Do noble gases have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
Yes, the outermost energy level of the atoms of the noble gases are filled, meaning that they have the maximum number of electrons. This is why noble gases are stable and unreactive. The atoms of reactive elements share or transfer electrons in order to fill their outermost energy levels, making them stable like the noble gases.
Do metalloids or noble gases form cations?
Metals form cations by the complete transfer of electrons. Metalloids and some noble gases generally form covalent bonds
Why are noble gases found in their pure uncombined form in nature?
The noble gases are always found pure because they already have their full set of valence electrons. They don't need to share or transfer any of their electrons with the other molecules.
Which element will have a noble gas configuration if it forms an ionic bond by accepting two electrons from a magnesium atom?
sulfur
How many electrons are present in the valence level for all noble gases except helium?
There are eight in all noble gases (except helium) because that forms a "full level" so that they are noble gases and not reactive.
What does the term noble in noble gas mean?
Noble gases are so named because they do not react (most of the time) with other elements. They already possess a stable octet in their valence shells and therefore do not need to transfer or share their electrons to be stable.
Why does boron have a positive ion?
Boron gains noble gas configuration by losing 3 electrons. So it forms positive ions.
