Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. Their valence orbitals are completely filled, have 8 electrons and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements), they do generally do not form compounds and are mono atomic.

Are noble gasses more likely to exist in nature as a molecule or single atom?

because they have more gas in them


Which molecule is more likely to exist in nature a molecule of CH3 or a molecule of CH4 Explain?

A molecule of CH4 (methane) is more likely to exist in nature because it is a stable compound with all valence electrons satisfied through covalent bonding. A molecule of CH3, on the other hand, would be highly reactive due to the presence of an unpaired electron on the carbon atom, making it less likely to exist in nature.


Which molecule is always single stranded?

RNA is always single stranded. DNA, on the other hand, can exist as either single-stranded or double-stranded.

Is a mercury a element?

No. It is a Atomic element because it exist in nature with single atoms as their basic unit.


Is hydrogen a molecule?

Yes, hydrogen can exist as a molecule. In its diatomic form, hydrogen atoms can bond together to form a molecule called molecular hydrogen (H2).

Does one kind of atom makes up a molecule?

Though some molecules are made up from a single element, many of the molecules exist aren't from a single element.


Does only one kind of atom make up a molecule?

Though some molecules are made up from a single element, many of the molecules exist aren't from a single element.


Does a single molecule have two atoms?

It depends whether it can exist alone or has a pair. Some atoms have semi-filled outer shells of electrons (sub-atomic particles) and therefore need to be covalently bonded with another molecule in order to be stable. Others can exist alone.
