What is an atom that doesn't hang on to other atoms?

A noble gas atom is an example of an atom that typically does not form bonds with other atoms. Noble gases have full valence electron shells, making them stable and unreactive.


Which noble gas only has one atom?

All noble gases have only one type of atom


How did the discovery of the noble gases contribute to today's understandings of the structure of the atom?

Noble gases explain the stable behavior of any element and hence enhances the concept of atom's structure.


Can an atom take part in a reaction?

yes, but noble gases no


Is the molecule of a noble gas the same as the atom of a noble gas?

Yes. as all noble gases are mono atomic.


Noble gases usually exist as what?

Noble gases usually exist as monatomic (single atom) gases because they have a stable electron configuration and are inert, meaning they do not easily react with other elements. This makes them chemically unreactive and often found in their elemental form in nature.


What familyof coumpounds is most likely to be relatively unreactive?

The "Noble gases" of group VIII are unreactive, because they are stable, due to their electron arrangements. If an atom has a full outer shell, it is "happy" and will not bond with other atoms.


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)


Why are noble gases not included in tagble 6.2?

Because Electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound. Noble gases have a full shell and therefore they don't attract to other elements, because they are not compounds.


What are valence electrons and how do they relate to the noble gases?

Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (or outermost energy level or outermost orbital) in an atom. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons. But helium (a noble gas) has only 2 valence electrons.


Why do atoms of all elements except noble gases not exist as single atom?

Why were you not aborted??


Is nicotine a noble gas?

nicotine is not an element so.. NO Nicotine is a compound, with the chemical formula C10H14N2. At standard temperature and pressure, it is an oily liquid. Noble gases are single-atom gases.
