Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.


Ia a noble gase a cation?

noble gases are elements and generally do not form cations due to the presence of completely filled valence shells.


Do metalloids form cations?

Metalloids generally do not form cations as readily as metals do due to their intermediate properties between metals and nonmetals. However, under certain conditions, metalloids like boron and silicon can form cations by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

What don't the noble gases form?

Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.


What do noble gases form?

Noble gases are stable in nature. They are placed in group-18.


The elements that do not ordinarily form compounds are?

Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, do not typically form compounds because they have a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons, making them very unlikely to gain or lose electrons to form bonds with other elements.
