Noble gas atoms can not lose energy by combining to form diatomic molecules, because each individual atom already has a filled outer electron shell.

Where do the noble gases get their name?

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


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

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


Is oxyegen a noble gas?

noble gases are those gases which dont react with anything. they are also called inert gases. oxygen is not one of them because it does react; infact, all the burning processes cant take place without oxygen.


Do noble gases tend to form cations?

Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.


Why don't the noble gases have an electron affinity value?

Noble gases have a full valence shell of electrons, so they are stable and do not readily gain or lose electrons. This stability leads to very low electron affinity values for noble gases, as they do not have a strong tendency to attract additional electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration.


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.


Neon does not exist as a diatomic molecule?

I dont think that Neon exists as a diatomic molecule, but I couldn't say for sure because the people on ask.com obviously don't know much about this. And neither does my chemistry book, or my mom.


Why do noble gases usually dont form chemical bonds?

Their outer energy shell is full of electrons and so it does not need to form a bond to fulfil this.


What dont noble gases normally form chemical bonds?

Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. They do not readily gain or lose electrons to form chemical bonds because doing so would disrupt their stable electron configuration.
