Some compounds do not react easily because they are stable due to having full valence electron shells, making them less likely to form bonds with other molecules. Additionally, the energy barrier for the reaction to occur may be too high, requiring a significant input of energy to overcome. The molecular structure and the presence of inhibitory factors can also play a role in hindering their reactivity.

Does copper react or combine with other elements and what elements?

Copper bonds with some other elements. We know it bonds with oxygen, and that's what makes copper darken in air as copper oxide forms. Sulfur is also an element that copper will bond with, and we see verdigris form on things made of copper when exposed to things with sulfur in them.


Choose which ones can most easily form 3 bonds Mg P Cl Ar Cr?

Magnesium (Mg) can easily form 2 bonds, phosphorus (P) can easily form 3 bonds, chlorine (Cl) can easily form 1 bond, argon (Ar) is an inert gas and does not typically form bonds, and chromium (Cr) can easily form 6 bonds.


Does oxygen react to light acid air or water?

Oxygen does not react with air or water. Nothing actually "reacts" with light as it is not a substance. It can induce a reaction in some substance, but not oxygen. Oxygen will, however react with some acids mostly organic ones, at high temperatures.


Do Carbon compounds form rings or long chains?

Carbon compounds can form both rings and long chains depending on their molecular structure. Compounds like benzene and cyclohexane form ring structures, while compounds like alkanes and alkenes form long chain structures. The arrangement of carbon atoms and the presence of double or triple bonds can influence the shape of the molecule.


What compounds are formed when iron and sulfur are heated?

When iron and sulfur are heated together, they react to form iron(II) sulfide, also known as ferrous sulfide (FeS). This compound is a grey solid with a metallic luster and is commonly found in nature as the mineral pyrrhotite.

Why does element marry another element?

Elements react ("marry") other elements to achieve stability. Many elements, especially the more reactive ones, are unstable by nature. For example, sodium and chlorine are very unstable. Hence, they will react if they can to form compounds (in this case, sodium chloride). Compounds are more stable because they have the noble gas configuration (i.e. full valence shell).


Are CFC's good to the ozone layer?

No...CFC's are the ones which are bad for ozone layer i.e. they deplete it. CFC are actually Chlorine and Florine containing compounds which when come in contact with harmful ultraviolet rays and break down into chlorine and fluorine and thus react with ozone to form compounds which deplete ozone.

Why do the noble gases not from compound readily?

Their outer energy levels are completely filled with electrons None of the noble gases form compounds easily. No compounds of helium and Neon are known. Compounds of Xe, Kr and Rn and recently even Ar are known however they are difficult to prepare and reactive and some are quite unstable.


What readily reacts with chlorine?

Metals such as sodium and potassium react readily with chlorine to form metal chlorides. Non-metals like hydrogen and sulfur also readily react with chlorine to form hydrogen chloride and sulfur dichloride, respectively. Organic compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds can also undergo addition reactions with chlorine.

Do elements of the noble gas family form compounds?

Yes, noble gases can form compounds, but with great difficulty. And more so with the heavier gases (higher atomic number/weight) than with the lighter ones. The noble gases are generally considered to be inert, or lacking any reasonable way to form chemical bonds with other elements. That's what makes them noble or inert. Only in the laboratory can we "force" some inert gases to form compounds. And all these compounds are highly unstable.


What elements docent form bonds easily because it has a full outer shell?

Elements in Group 8/0 in the periodic table (the ones to the far right) are called the Noble Gases and all have full outer shells. They are all inert, which means they don't react and include Helium, Argon and Neon.


Why can xenon form compounds even though it's a noble gas?

The heavier noble gases have more electron shells than the lighter ones. Hence, the outermost electrons experience a shielding effect from the inner electrons that makes them more easily ionized, since they are less strongly attracted to the positively-charged nucleus. This results in an ionization energy low enough to form stable compounds with the most electronegative elements, fluorine and oxygen, and even with less electronegative elements such as nitrogen and carbon under certain circumstances.
