Why don't noble gases chemically combine with any other elements?

they do not exist as molecules because they are noble gasses; as in they already have 8 valence electrons and therefore do not need anymore to have a full outershell. they rarely ever bond to anything because they are already stable and do not need to bond to have 8 valence electrons as most elements do when they become ions.

∙ 14y agoThe gases that you listed are nobel gases and thus have a full octet of electrons making them very stable. In order for bonding to occur they would have to give or take additional electrons making them unstable. This is because of some rather advanced physics but just think of it as the atoms are happy that they have 8 electrons and don't want to change that thus don't want to bond with anything.

∙ 11y agoThere are six noble gases: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

∙ 14y agoThey are in the Group VIII Periodic Table (noble gases); therefore they have 8 valence electrons; this is a stable configuration.

∙ 15y agoNeon is a noble gas, so it's oxidation state is zero, so it has no charge.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoArgon will not readily combine with any other element because it is already a stable element. It will take a lot of work to make Argon bond with other elements.

Do the noble gases combine with the alkaline earth metals?
Noble gases are chemically inert and do not combine with alkaline earth metals. However, xenon will combine with highly electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen forming compounds like XeO2, XeO3, XeF4, XeF6, XeOF4 etc.
Why do noble gases not bind with other elements?
Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inactive / inert / do not form bond with other elements.
Why are noble gases also called inert gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements) and are known as inert gases.
Do Nobel gases often combine with other elements?
Noble gases do not often combine with other elements.
What happens when two noble gases are combined?
Noble gases do not react chemically with other noble gases.
Do the noble gases combine with the alkaline earth metals?
Noble gases are chemically inert and do not combine with alkaline earth metals. However, xenon will combine with highly electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen forming compounds like XeO2, XeO3, XeF4, XeF6, XeOF4 etc.
The noble gases appear at the extreme left of the periodic table?
Yes, because they are extremely hard or impossible to chemically combine with other elements.
What are elements that rarely combine with other elements called?
The Inert Gases of Group 0 rarely combine with other elements as they are (exc. Radon) extremely unreactive. The Inert Gases are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenon(Radon)
What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?
The Group 18 elements are called the noble gases or sometimes inert gases. Wikipedia has information on the noble gases, and a link is provided.
Why don't gases such as argon combine chemically with other elements?
Argon and the other Noble gases in the far right group (column) of the periodic table have a full outer shell of electrons and cannot form bonds with other elements.
Why do noble gases not bind with other elements?
Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inactive / inert / do not form bond with other elements.
Elements combine with chlorine iodine bromine and fluorine?
Metals are particularly likely to combine chemically with the halogens you listed, but I will add that almost every element on the periodic table (with the exception of the noble gases) will combine with at least some of the halogens.
Why are noble gases also called inert gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements) and are known as inert gases.
What is one of a group of elements that seldom combine with others?
The noble or inert gases.
How active is noble gases?
Noble gases are chemically inert.
Will all elements combine with other elements?
in nuclear fusion i assume it is theoretically possible to combine any elements but in terms of chemical bonding, no some elements ie noble gases are very nonreactive, though the heavier noble gases do form compounds with oxygen and fluorine.
Do Nobel gases often combine with other elements?
Noble gases do not often combine with other elements.
