The Noble Gases. They have all of their electron spots filled in the ring that they are using. Making them stable.
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, are known for their low reactivity because they have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements.
Silicon primarily reacts with nonmetals such as oxygen, sulfur, and halogens. It can also react with certain metals to form silicides.
A nonmetal typically forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals or with metalloids. Nonmetals can also react with metals to form ionic compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can combine with nonmetallic elements to form compounds, such as sulfur combining with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.
The material is most likely a nonmetal. Nonmetals are typically nonmagnetic, can be found in gaseous form, and do not conduct heat or electricity well. They often react with other elements to form compounds.
Iodine is moderately reactive with certain elements. It can react with metals like sodium and potassium to form metal iodides. It can also react with nonmetals like hydrogen to form hydrogen iodide. However, iodine is less reactive compared to elements like chlorine or oxygen.
Nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements are inert. These nonmetals are called the noble gases and are in Group 18 (VIIIA) on the Periodic Table.
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
Plutonium can react with the majority of the nonmetals.
Nonmetals commonly react with metals to form ionic compounds. Nonmetals can also react with other nonmetals to form covalent compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can react with oxygen, hydrogen, and halogens to form various types of compounds.
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
Examples of active nonmetals include oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. These elements readily form compounds and react with other elements to gain electrons.

The family of elements that react readily with metals is the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form compounds with metals by gaining an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
