They are noble gases whose electron shells are full. They cannot, therefore, form ions.
Argon has three full shells of electrons. Elements react to form bonds so that their outer shell is full. As Argon has a full outer shell it is unreactive
Noble gases dont form bonds because their valencr shells are full.
Yes, they are.
Noble gases, or elements of the 18th group have full valence shells. In other words helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon and ununoctium have full valence shells.
KLMN ended in 2009.
KLMN was created on 2003-06-11.
It is a statement that may or may not be true - depending on what klmn is (or oare)..
A Beach Full of Shells was created in 2005.
Because their electron shells are full of the requisite number of electrons.
s = ? , p=? , d=?, f=?
It must be a rhombus
they already have full shells so they dont tend to form compounds
They are noble gases whose electron shells are full. They cannot, therefore, form ions.
Argon has three full shells of electrons. Elements react to form bonds so that their outer shell is full. As Argon has a full outer shell it is unreactive
The answer is it must be a rhombus
Their shells are always full (unless something wacky happens). This is why they are so unreactive.
