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.

However noble gases like krypton and xenon will bind with highly electronegative elements like oxygen and fluorine.

Does a noble gas form when electrons transfer from one atom to another and a bond forms?

No. Noble gases exist in nature, and are chemical elements. These are the six noble gases: Helium (He) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) and the radioactive Radon (Rn)


Why do noble gases rarely form bond with other atom?

the nobel gases are already stable, with full octets of valence electrons


What atom is least likely to form a polar covalent bond with carbon?

Noble gases (such as helium, neon, argon) are the least likely to form a polar covalent bond with carbon. This is because noble gases have full valence electron shells, making them highly stable and unlikely to interact with other atoms to form bonds.


What familyof coumpounds is most likely to be relatively unreactive?

The "Noble gases" of group VIII are unreactive, because they are stable, due to their electron arrangements. If an atom has a full outer shell, it is "happy" and will not bond with other atoms.


Why do helium neon and argon have no electronegativity values?

Electronegativity is a measurement of the power of an atom to attract electrons. The Noble gases, like helium, neon, and argon all have full valence shells. This means they are very stable and have no need to bond. There are several methods of calculating electronegativity, and some of those methods do give values for the Noble gases. However, these numbers are not generally meaningful since the noble gases do not have a measurable electron affinity. Several of the noble gases can form bonds under special curcumstances.


What are gases that do not bond or have ion charges?

These are the noble gases: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn.


When a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound are neon and argon the same as those in noble gases?

Yes, when a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound (sodium chloride), it does not produce neon or argon. Neon and argon are noble gases with stable electron configurations, while sodium and chlorine react to achieve stable electron configurations by forming an ionic bond in sodium chloride.


What does carbon bond to?

Hydrogen


What group is stable and will not bond?

Noble Gases are stable due to the "octet" rule (they have as many electrons as they can hold) and will not bond.


Why don't the noble gases bond unless there forced?

Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals and hence they are stable and chemically inert under room temperature.


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.


What type of bond do noble gases form with metals?

Noble gases typically do not form bonds with metals because they are already stable and do not easily react with other elements.
