What else can I help you with?
Are all elements except noble gases ions?
No, not all elements except noble gases form ions. Noble gases are considered inert because they have a complete outer electron shell, making them stable and less likely to form ions. Other elements may gain or lose electrons to form ions.
Why noble gases do not form ions?
They already have the perfect number of electrons in their topmost energy levels. hence they do not form ions. Noble Gases have no reaction to any of the elements under room temperature. However noble gases like krypton or xenon are known to form covalent compounds like KrF2, XeF4, XeOF4 etc.
What elements will not typically form ions?
The two groups that do not usually form ions include Group 14 and Group 18. Group 14 does not form ions. They do not gain or lose electrons either. Group 18 does not form ions because they contain stable noble gases.
Can noble gases have either a positive or a negative charge?
None of them have a negative charge. Or a positive charge. They can be ionized by high voltages, as (for example) neon is in a neon sign. However, neon doesn't have a monopoly on that, all of them exhibit the same behavior.
Do noble gases tend to form cations?
Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.
What elements does not form monoatomic ions?
Noble gases doesn't form ions.

Does a nonmetal form negative ions?
most do, but noble gases don't

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 atoms of noble gases don't form ions?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds / ions under normal conditions.
Helium is a cation or anion?
Neither, heluim is inert, one of the noble gases.
What is the relationship between the stable ions and the noble gases?
Generally (but not always) stable ions will have the same the electronic configuration as that of noble gases (completely filled valence shells / orbitals)
Do noble gases tend to form cations?
Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.
What are some noble gases of ionic compounds?
Noble gases do not typically form ions in chemical compounds because they have a full valence shell and are stable. However, they can form weak interactions in certain compounds, such as inclusion complexes.
