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.


Why are the noble gases not likely to form compounds?

The noble gases already have their full set of valence electrons. They don't need to share or transfer any of their electrons with other molecules.


Do metalloids or noble gases form cations?

Metalloids can form cations by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Noble gases, on the other hand, typically do not form cations as they have a stable electron configuration due to having a full outer shell of electrons.


Why do noble gases rarely form bond with other atom?

the nobel gases are already stable, with full octets of valence electrons


Does a noble gas form when electrons transfer from one atom to another and a bond forms?

No. Noble gases exist in nature, and are chemical elements. These are the six noble gases: Helium (He) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) and the radioactive Radon (Rn)


What gases do not gain electrons?

Noble gases


Why do noble gases not normally form compounds?

Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.


Are the Noble Gases very reactive with other elements and form many compounds?

No. The noble gases are inreactive and don't form compounds with other elements. This is because they have a full outer shell of electrons.


What aren't noble gases reactive?

Noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable and non-reactive. Their electron configuration is already at its most stable state, so they do not easily form bonds with other elements. This is why noble gases are often called inert gases.


Noble gases usually don't form chemical bonds why?

Because they lack valance electrons


What are the families that contain a full octet of valence electrons?

This is the family of noble gases (group 18).


How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of noble gases?

Helium has 2 valence electrons. All other noble gases have 8 valence electrons.
