Why only xenon can form compound in noble gases?
Not true! Radon can too. You just reminded me that I actually have some XeF4 in my basement that I used to use for X-ray analysis. Anyways, it's because Xenon, like Radon, is getting too big for its britches. The electromagnetic attractive force from its nucleus is weaker for the electrons in Xenon's outer shell than for the equivalent electrons in the smaller-sized noble gases. Plus, it has more electrons flying around than those other smaller nobles, and they are all putting repulsive forces on each other, helping to weaken the strength of the bond. Therefore, the really really powerful oxidizers like Fluorine and Chlorine can actually steal one of the Xenon's electrons out from under it and arrange itself to be in a more stable state than the Xe was before.
Do elements of the noble gas family form compounds?
Yes, noble gases can form compounds, but with great difficulty. And more so with the heavier gases (higher atomic number/weight) than with the lighter ones. The noble gases are generally considered to be inert, or lacking any reasonable way to form chemical bonds with other elements. That's what makes them noble or inert. Only in the laboratory can we "force" some inert gases to form compounds. And all these compounds are highly unstable.
Can noble gases form compounds that occur naturally in the environment?
Yes, noble gases do not typically form compounds with other elements in nature because of their stable and inert nature. However, some rare exceptions include xenon compounds that have been synthesized in the laboratory but do not occur naturally in the environment.
What compounds are formed from noble gases?
Because noble gases are very unreactive only a small number of compounds is known: halides, oxides, salts, especially from xenon. Some compounds are unstable.
What are the noble gases give example?
The noble gases are a group of elements in the periodic table that are very stable and unreactive due to their full outer electron shells. Examples include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are commonly used in lighting, refrigeration, and other applications.
How many bonds does Xe form?
Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas and typically does not form bonds with other elements. However, it can form compounds with other elements under certain conditions. In these compounds, xenon can exhibit various oxidation states and form multiple bonds depending on the specific compound.
Do xenon and radium bond well?
Xenon is a noble gas so it doesn't bond, but radium bonds pretty well Xenon is the only noble gas that bonds with a other element.
What are 5 facts about xenon?
1.Xenon is used in manytouch screen cell phones2.Common uses are photographic flash, and general anaesthetics3.If inhaled, it can cause a persons voice to deepen4.The earth's atmosphere is 0.0000087% Xenon5.The only one of the noble gases to form a compound
Do noble gasses combine with other elements?
yes, xenon can but only when forced to do so

Why does xenon reacts with only oxygen and fluorine but not other elements?
Xenon is a noble gas, which means it is generally unreactive. However, it can form compounds with oxygen and fluorine because they are highly electronegative elements that can pull electrons away from xenon, allowing it to bond. Other elements are typically less electronegative and cannot effectively form compounds with xenon.
Which group in the periodic table does not form compounds?
The group on the far right of the periodic table of elements will not bond to form compounds. These are the Noble Gases aka Inert Gases and are the elements of Group 18, which includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and element 118. I think that's all of them. I am not 100% confident that this list is entirely inclusive so there may be some other element(s) that do not form compounds. I am sure however that Noble Gases do not react due to the fact that their electron shells are full.

Which of the following are considered noble gases?
Helium, Neon, Argon and if another Krypton.
Is xenon only found in the atmosphere?
No. Traces of Xenon are also found in covalent boded form with oxygen, in quartz.
What noble gas is found only as a compound?
No noble gas is found as a compound. They have to be forced into forming compounds, and some cannot even be made so then.
