The element least likely to obey the octet rule in forming chemical bonds?

Noble gases are in the last column of the periodic table. Atoms of noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, making them stable. The only reason an element reacts with another element is to become stable.


How can you tell what Ion is likely form from an element such as Kr?

To determine the likely ion formed by an element like Kr (krypton), you need to consider its position on the periodic table. Kr is a noble gas located in the far right column, meaning it has a full valence electron shell and is stable. Noble gases do not readily gain or lose electrons, so Kr is unlikely to form an ion.


Why do the elements sodium and potassium form ions with the same charge?

Because each of them can form a cation with the electron configuration of a noble gas by donating one electron to another element.


What element is least likely to form an ionic bond with sodium?

Noble gases, such as neon or argon, are least likely to form ionic bonds with sodium since they already have a full valence shell and do not readily gain or lose electrons.


What noble gas configurations is Rb likely to adopt in reactions when it form ions?

Rb is likely to adopt a noble gas configuration of [Kr] when it forms ions. This means it will lose one electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, similar to the nearest noble gas element, krypton.


What element is least likely to combine with another element for form a compound?

The elements in the family Group 0 - Inert Gases (exc. Radon) will not usually combine with other substances, as this group is highly unreactive. Inert Gases; Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon (Radon)


Is chlorine made up of a noble gas?

no. chlorine is a halogen (a group 17 element) and not a noble gas (a group 18 element). However chloride ion will have the same electronic configuration as the noble gas, argon


Which noble gas would most likely form a compound with fluorine?

Krypton is the noble gas most likely to form a compound with fluorine, typically by reacting to form krypton difluoride (KrF2).


Which is the second lightest element?

Helium but it is noble gas. Lithium is the lightest solid element that found in natural form.


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.


What noble gas is least likely to form an ion?

Noble gases' atoms have the least tendency to form ions.


Is argon a compound?

No, argon is not a compound. It is an element classified as a noble gas, existing in its atomic form.
