they do not exist as molecules because they are noble gasses; as in they already have 8 valence electrons and therefore do not need anymore to have a full outershell. they rarely ever bond to anything because they are already stable and do not need to bond to have 8 valence electrons as most elements do when they become ions.

Do the noble gases combine with the alkaline earth metals?

Noble gases are chemically inert and do not combine with alkaline earth metals. However, xenon will combine with highly electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen forming compounds like XeO2, XeO3, XeF4, XeF6, XeOF4 etc.


The noble gases appear at the extreme left of the periodic table?

Yes, because they are extremely hard or impossible to chemically combine with other elements.


What element will not combine chemically?

Noble gases, such as helium and neon, typically do not combine chemically with other elements due to their stable electron configuration. This stability makes them unlikely to form compounds with other elements.


What are elements that rarely combine with other elements called?

The Inert Gases of Group 0 rarely combine with other elements as they are (exc. Radon) extremely unreactive. The Inert Gases are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenon(Radon)


Why do noble gases not bind with other elements?

Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inactive / inert / do not form bond with other elements.


What is one of a group of elements that seldom combine with others?

The noble or inert gases.


How active is noble gases?

Noble gases are chemically inert.


What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?

Group 17 elements are called halogens, which include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Group 18 elements are called noble gases, which include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.


Noble gases are chemically?

Noble gases are chemically inert, meaning they are generally non-reactive with other elements. This is due to their stable electron configuration, with a full outer shell of electrons. This makes noble gases very useful in applications where a non-reactive atmosphere is required.


Which group of elements are already stable?

Noble gases are already stable because they have a full outer electron shell, making them chemically inert and unlikely to react with other elements.


Will all elements combine with other elements?

in nuclear fusion i assume it is theoretically possible to combine any elements but in terms of chemical bonding, no some elements ie noble gases are very nonreactive, though the heavier noble gases do form compounds with oxygen and fluorine.


Are the most chemically active solids are found in the noble gas family?

Noble gases are all gases and not solids. In addition they are generally chemically inert as they have completely filled orbitals. Also the most active solids are generally found in group 1
