Does neon bond to form molecules?

Answer 1

Neon is an inert or noble gas. It does not want to bond with other atoms because its valence shell is complete. It will not even hang out with its own kind; it's a monatomic gas. Having said that, perhaps it becomes obvious that neon doesn't form any kind of bond as we normally encounter it.

Answer 2

Neon is a noble gas and as such will form no chemical bonds under naturally occurring conditions. Its outer energy level has eight electrons. For atoms, this is a particularly stable arrangement.

Answer 3

Neon is an inert or noble gas. Because it has a full valence shell, we don't normally see it bonding with anything. In the laboratory, however, investigators have made compounds out of radon, xenon, krypton, and argon. These are all noble gases. The difference with neon and helium though, is that unlike all those other noble gases, they do not have empty valence orbitals to form a bond with. All the other noble gases have empty valence d-orbitals to use to form bonds.

Answer 4

as neon is an inner gas for that neon can't form any bonds.

Answer 5

Neon is a noble gas, and it does not form bonds with oxygen or any other element.

Answer 6

Hmm, I don't think it can form a bond with oxygen since it is a noble gas.

Answer 7

Neon is not known to form chemical compounds. Oxygen can form ionic and covalent bonds to many elemnts but not to neon!

Answer 8

None.

Answer 9

yes
