What region on the periodic table has atoms that rarely if ever chemically bond?

Noble Gases: Because Noble Gases are already in a stable form, they are not as likely to bond with other atoms as are those farther from a stable form. Noble Gases are found in group VIII, which is the far rightmost column.


When a chemical bond is formed the constituent atoms acquire the valence electron configuration of noble gases called?

When a chemical bond is formed, the constituent atoms acquire the valence electron configuration of noble gases called the octet rule or the stable electron configuration. This is achieved by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons to attain a full outer shell of electrons, similar to noble gases.


An atom will not normally form a chemical bond if it has how many valence electrons?

An atom will not normally form a chemical bond if it has 8 electrons already or in the case of hydrogen and helium, 2 electrons. A "full" valence shell has 8 electrons starting and period 2 on the periodic table. The elements with full valence levels are the elements on the far right family called the noble gases. The noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn).


What does the term noble mean in noble metals and noble gases?

There are no "noble metals". The "noble" connotation for "noble gas" is that in society, the "noble" people don't interact with the average people. "Noble" or inert gases do not take part in any regular chemical reactions. The individual atoms don't form elements or compounds.


Which group on the periodic table never forms a chemical bond?

Group 18 (noble gases), because there outer energy level is full

Is Argon and Neon a covalent or ionic bond?

They are neither. Neon and Argon are nobel gases, which means they don't normally bond at all, for they have a full outter electron shell.

Why doesn't noble gas normally form a chemical bond?

Noble gases do not naturally form chemical bonds because their valence orbital is full of electrons. Helium has 2 electrons, and the other noble gases have 8 electrons in their full valence orbital. This full shell makes them unreactive (they have high ionization energy and almost zero electron affinity). However, under special conditions in the lab, scientists can artificially synthesize noble gas compounds such as XeF6.

Does a noble gas form when electrons transfer from one atom to another and a bond forms?

No. Noble gases exist in nature, and are chemical elements. These are the six noble gases: Helium (He) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) and the radioactive Radon (Rn)


Why do helium neon and argon have no electronegativity values?

Electronegativity is a measurement of the power of an atom to attract electrons. The Noble gases, like helium, neon, and argon all have full valence shells. This means they are very stable and have no need to bond. There are several methods of calculating electronegativity, and some of those methods do give values for the Noble gases. However, these numbers are not generally meaningful since the noble gases do not have a measurable electron affinity. Several of the noble gases can form bonds under special curcumstances.


Can calcium bond with argon?

No, calcium and argon cannot form a chemical bond with each other because argon is a noble gas and does not typically form chemical bonds. Calcium is a reactive metal that tends to form ionic bonds with nonmetals, but it does not form bonds with noble gases like argon.

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 is the valence electron configuration like the noble gases called when a chemical bond is formed between the constituent atoms?

These are complete filled electron shells.


What is electronegativity of argon?

Argon is a noble gas and does not have a defined electronegativity value since it does not typically form chemical bonds. Electronegativity is a measure of an element's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond, which is not relevant for noble gases like argon.
