*sigh*
Noble gases have one complete outer shell (eight electrons) excluding helium, which has two. this makes them extremely unreactive. however, experiments have been done, and under extreme heat and pressure, helium make react with oxygen (six+two) this is so unstable that it lasts for less than a few seconds. This is why helium may react in the sun.

What are some noble gases of ionic compounds?

Noble gases do not typically form ions in chemical compounds because they have a full valence shell and are stable. However, they can form weak interactions in certain compounds, such as inclusion complexes.


Why are the noble gases not included on the table of electronegativities?

they already have full shells so they dont tend to form compounds


Where do the noble gases get their name?

These gases generally dont react with any other elements and hence are considered 'noble'.


Why dont the noble gases form compounds easily?

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.


Do noble gases share electrons?

No, noble gases do not typically share electrons with other elements because they have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. This is why they are often found in their pure, monoatomic state in nature.


Why dont noble gases form compounds?

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 do not form compounds under normal conditions.


Why dont noble gases need to make compoundswith other elements?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals (octet of electrons), they are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive).


Are noble gas flamable'?

if u put fire by it maby I dont really know, do you?


How do the physical and chemical properties of the haogens compare with those of the noble gases?

noble gases really are just that: noble. they dont react to things easily. halogens on the other hand, do react extremely easily. that is one of the main differences between the two.


Why dont noble gases bond with other elements?

Noble gases have stable octets, meaning they have 8 electrons on their outest shell, which is the max electrons the shell can hold. Since noble gases' outer shells are full, they cannot share or gain electrons from other atoms therefore they do not bond.


Why dont noble gases react readily with other elements?

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.


Why dont the noble gases react?

Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them highly stable and unreactive. Due to their configuration, they do not typically gain or lose electrons to form bonds with other elements. This stability is why noble gases are often found in their elemental form in nature.
