Xenon has larger size and hence the valence electrons do not have much attraction with the nucleus. So these electrons are available for bonding with other elements.

How do the physical and chemical properties of the halogens compared 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.


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.


What are gases that do not form compounds with other elements called?

the noble gases


What don't the noble gases form?

Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.


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.

Do the Physical and chemical properties of halogens compare that of noble gases?

No, the physical and chemical properties of halogens are different from noble gases. Halogens like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are highly reactive and can form compounds with other elements, while noble gases like helium, neon, and argon are inert and do not readily form compounds. Halogens typically have higher melting and boiling points compared to noble gases.


Which group of atoms do not usually form compounds?

The noble gases.


What do noble gases all have in common?

They are not very reactive and they do not form bonds with each other, so molecules of noble gases cannot be formed, there are only atoms, i.e. they are monatomic gases.. Up until 1962 no noble gas compounds were known however compounds of Argon, Krypton Xenon and Radon all form unstable compounds with fluorine.


Are noble gases known for forming salts?

The number of compounds of noble gases is very low; salts derived from xenon are known.
