Group 8 rarely forms ions since it has steal/lose more electrons to follow the octet rule (having eight valence electrons).

Do elements in group 1 readily or rarely form ions?

Elements in Group 1 (alkali metals) readily form ions by losing one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This is due to their low ionization energy, which makes it easier for them to lose electrons and form positively charged ions.


Which group of elements most readily combines with group 17 elements?

Group 1 metals, such as sodium and potassium, readily combine with group 17 elements (halogens) to form salts. These metals have one electron in their outermost shell, which they can easily lose to achieve a stable electron configuration, while halogens are one electron short of a stable configuration and readily accept an electron to form a stable ion.


Why are group 1 and group 7 found as compounds in the periodic table?

Group 1 elements (such as Sodium and Potassium) readily form compounds because they are highly reactive metals that readily lose their outer electron to form positive ions. Group 7 elements (such as Chlorine and Fluorine) are highly reactive nonmetals that readily gain an electron to form negative ions, making them prone to forming compounds as well.


Which group of p block elements react to form halides?

Group 17 elements, also known as the halogens, are the p block elements that react to form halides. They readily react with other elements to form salts called halides, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium iodide (KI).


What group of the periodic table is most combines most readily with other elements to form compounds?

Groups 1 and 17.

How readily astatine would be to form a salt compared to other elements in Group 17?

Astatine wouldn't form salt as readily as other elements in Group 17. Astatine is a radioactive metalloid. Other elements in Group 17 are nonmetals.


Which group in the periodic table contains elements that do no react easily to form chemical compounds?

Noble gases, located in Group 18 of the periodic table, are known for their stability and do not readily react with other elements to form compounds. They have full outer electron shells, making them chemically inert.


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)

Why is group 13 described as the swing group in the periodic table?

Because Group 13 elements form both ionic and covalent bonds readily.

Which group of elements is know as the halogens?

The halogens are a group of elements in the periodic table consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. They are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form salts with metals.


What group of the periodic table is most combines most readily with other elements to form compounds?

Groups 1 and 17.


Which elements are the most active in a group?

As a general rule, these are the elements toward the top of the group in the periodic table.


Why group 1 and group 2 elements do not occur free in nature?

Group 1 and group 2 elements are reactive metals and react readily with water. They also react readily at high temperatures with oxygen. Over the millenia any free deposits would react to form compounds.
