Why do the noble gases not from compound readily?

Answer 1

Their outer energy levels are completely filled with electrons

None of the noble gases form compounds easily.

No compounds of helium and Neon are known.

Compounds of Xe, Kr and Rn and recently even Ar are known however they are difficult to prepare and reactive and some are quite unstable.

Answer 2

Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and less likely to react with other elements to form compounds. Their full outer electron shell results in a low reactivity, which is why they are typically found in their elemental form.

Answer 3

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 under normal conditions.

Answer 4

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. 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 under normal conditions.

However xenon and krypton will react with fluorine or oxygen to form XeF2, XeF4, XeOF4, KrF2 etc

Answer 5

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. Their valence orbitals are completely filled, have 8 electrons and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).

Answer 6

The lighter ones, helium and neon, are not known to form any covalent compounds.

Answer 7

No noble gas will form compounds unless in altered conditions.

Answer 8

The noble gases each are elements that will not form a compound. That's why they're called 'noble' (untouchable -- like a king).

Answer 9

Helium an neon don't form compounds.

The do form a few unstable compounds.

Answer 10

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. So they are stable and generally non-reactive (chemically inert).
