The elements in group 8 of the Periodic Table are iron (Fe), ruthenium(Ru), osmium(Os), and hassium(Hs). All four of these elements are grouped together because each of their atoms has a full valence shell containing the maximum of 8 electrons. Atoms seek to bond when their outer valance is unstable and has less than 8 electrons. Their goal is to fill the valance with 8 electrons to become chemically unable to bond or "chemically inert." That is the case with the group 8 elements. They have a complete or closed shell and that is why they do not bond with other elements.

What bond involves the gain and loss of electrons?
Ionic bonds involve an element gaining an electron and an element losing an electron.Ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds in that covalent bonds cause elements to "share" electrons, while in ionic bonds there is a distinct transfer of electrons.Ionic Bond.
Are mixed vegetables a element or a compound?
neither it is a mixture because they dont make a new substance and they can be broken down into other elements
How do you contrast the composition of minerals in each mineral group?
i dont no
What are the elements and compounds found in the lithosphere called?
no these where not what i was looking for this is why i dont come on this website it is so stupid
When magnesium transforms into sodium a second is produced what is it what elements nucleus is this?
sorry some stupid kid put it in i dont have an answer sorry
How is group 7 elements stored?
dont know and dont really care tbh
What is a group often used for electrodes or catalysts because they do not combine easily with other elements called?
The platinum group is often used for electrodes or catalyts because they do not combine easily with other elements.
Why are members of group 18 unreactive?
The goal of every element is to complete its outer shell of electrons through reacting with other elements. And atom's outer shell can hold up to eight electrons. The elements of group 8 already have 8 electrons, so they have no reason to react with other elements. Because they don't react they're called noble gasses.
How are elements place in their group number?
Cuss , they're Very Dumb , feel Me ? & i Dont qet it , So Ummm , kay . .
Is peon gas is inert gas?
If you mean 'neon' then yes however the elements in group eight are termed inert or noble(meaning they dont bond) when some such as xenon bond!!! an example of this is xenon difluride. Outrageous!! any way this is because their valence of electrons is a complete eight hence they are in group eight. however an element with three electron shells will tend to break the trend, because they need to get eighteen electrons in their outer shell in order to be full!!
What group of elements from the periodic table is the most stable group because the outer-most layer of their electrons is full?
i dont know the answer<<<Then why did you answer??? PS: good luck with the weekly quiz bowl.
How are the elements in one column of the periodic table related to each other?
The y are orgnized by there atomic number and if you need more answers dont use wikipedia.com they dont have right answers and anyone can change the answers as they please so use a diffren site if you want a good grade on anything
What were the elements of the new Hawaiian constitution forced by group of prominent planters?
i dont know it either just doing world history homework.
What kind of bond forms between krypton oxygen and hydrogen?
No, not in nature or most normal circumstances because it already has 8 electrons in its 'outer shell', so energetically it doesn't want to bond. However, in extreme conditions in the laboratory, compounds of Krypton have been made.
Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and flourine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?
calcium and lithium are both metals and dont form bond with each other. sodium and flourine form ionic compound, sodium fluoride. nitrogen and oxygen form covalent bond in the nitrogen oxides. helium and argon are both nonmetals / noble gases and dont form bond with each other.

potassium of course and other stuff that are in bananas which are umm..i dont know
