Which has a higher covalent radius cations or noble gases?

noble gases have larger radius than cations.


Why are noble gasses unlikely to form covalent bonds?

Noble gases already have a full valence shell.


Do noble gases have a weak intermolecular force?

The covalent bond is an intramolecular bond.An example of compound having covalent bonds is carbon dioxide - CO2.


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.


Why are the physical properties of the noble gases similar to those of covalent molecular substances?

The physical properties of noble gases are similar to those of covalent molecular substances because both have weak intermolecular forces between their particles. Noble gases exhibit London dispersion forces due to temporary dipoles, while covalent molecules share electrons through covalent bonds, resulting in weak forces of attraction between molecules.


Why aren't noble gases liquids or solids at room temperature?

Noble gases can't have a metallic, ionic or covalent bonds because their outer shells are full, therefore they are stable. They are gases because their molecules are far apart, causing its gaseous phase.


What kind of bonding is noble gases and metals?

Noble gases typically do not form bonds with metals. They have full valence shells, making them very stable and unreactive. Metals tend to form bonds with nonmetals to achieve a stable electron configuration through ionic or covalent bonding.


Do noble gases make 1 charged ions?

No. Noble gases have completely filled orbitals and are chemically inert. So they generally do not form compounds / ions. Xenon, a noble gas, forms covalent compounds with oxygen or fluorine. In addition, halogens (or group 17 elements) form anions with -1 charge.


How come noble gases don't form covalent bonds?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements) and generally don't form covalent compounds


What kind of element combines in covalent bond?

Nonmetals and metalloids typically combine in covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing allows both atoms to attain a full outer shell of electrons and form a stable molecule.
