Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally they will not accept / gain electrons and dont form ionic compounds.

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.


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.


How do the physical and chemical propertys of the halogens compare with those of the inert gases?

Halogens can be gaseous, liquid or solid; noble gases are only gases.Halogens are very chemical reactive elements; only some compounds of noble gases are known.


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.


Why do noble gases combine with atoms of any other element?

Noble gases are generally unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, making them stable. However, under certain conditions such as high pressure or high temperature, noble gases can react with atoms of other elements to form compounds. This occurs as these conditions can force electrons from the noble gas to form bonds with other atoms, allowing them to combine.

What is the reactive of krypton?

It is a noble gas; noble gases are chemically inert. Some compounds have been synthesised however.

Which group of elements is very stable and nonreactive?

Noble gases are the group of elements that are very stable and nonreactive due to their full outer electron shells, which gives them little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds.

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.


What are inert gases?

Inert gases are the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn). They used to be called the inert gases until Neil Bartlett proved that you could make compounds out of some of them, so they were renamed "inert" gases.


Are all compounds composed of molecule's?

some compounds are composed of molecules bound by ionic compounds so no
