Elements form compounds to seek electrical equillibrium. Ions are basically either positive or negative, and free ions of elements seek to bond with other elements to form a neutral charge. Example: Na+1 is looking for a -1 ion, such as Cl -1, so that it can reduce its charge to zero. Noble gases have what is known as an "octet" which is very stable electron configuration. Because of this, a noble gas does not seek to bond with another element to either give up or gain a charge.

What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?

Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.


Why atoms of noble gases don't easily form bonds?

Ther are no available electrons in any orbitals that are available for bonding


Which group of atoms do not usually form compounds?

The noble gases.


What elements does NOT form bonds easily because it has a full outer shell?

Noble gases do not easily form bonds because they have a full outer electron shell, making them very stable and unreactive. This full outer shell configuration is known as the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell of electrons like the noble gases.


Why do noble gas atoms such as H and Ne not form bonds with other atoms?

Noble gas atoms have a full valence shell of electrons, making them highly stable. This stability reduces the tendency for noble gases to form bonds with other atoms. Additionally, noble gas atoms have a low electronegativity, making it difficult for them to attract or share electrons with other atoms to form bonds.


What type of bond do noble gases form with metals?

Noble gases typically do not form bonds with metals because they are already stable and do not easily react with other elements.


What are the only elements in that exist you nature as isolated atoms?

Helium, neon, and argon are the only elements that exist in nature as isolated atoms, due to their stable electronic configurations that do not readily form chemical bonds with other elements. These elements are known as noble gases for their inert nature.


Why don't the noble gases react with other atoms?

Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inert (they generally do not form bonds).


Why do noble gases combine with atoms of any other element?

Noble gases are generally unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, making them stable. However, under certain conditions such as high pressure or high temperature, noble gases can react with atoms of other elements to form compounds. This occurs as these conditions can force electrons from the noble gas to form bonds with other atoms, allowing them to combine.


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.


When atoms form bonds and fill their outer most levels they have an electronic arrangement similar to that of a what?

noble gases


When atomic radius continue to decrease why do the atoms of noble gases don't react easily with other atoms?

noble gasses have a full outer shell of 8 electrons which makes them fairly stable as they have no more room in that shell for another electron nor do they have the need to share there electrons with another element to gain a full outer shell
