Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).

The noble gases do not readily form compounds because they are or are not chemically stable?

The noble gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable. This stability is due to their full outer electron shells, which makes them unlikely to gain, lose, or share electrons with other elements to form bonds.


Why don't noble gases exist in the human body except for trace amounts?

Mainly because they do not readily form compounds.


Do Neon and Argon form a compound?

Not together. It is possible, however, for noble gases to form bonds.


Why are noble gases not in table 6.2?

Noble gases are not in Table 6.2 because they generally do not form compounds with other elements due to their stable electron configurations. Noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, making them highly unreactive and unable to form bonds. Therefore, they do not readily participate in chemical reactions and are not included in the table that lists commonly occurring compounds.


Which group in the periodic table contains elements that do no react easily to form chemical compounds?

Noble gases, located in Group 18 of the periodic table, are known for their stability and do not readily react with other elements to form compounds. They have full outer electron shells, making them chemically inert.


What don't the noble gases form?

Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.


The elements that do not ordinarily form compounds are?

Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, do not typically form compounds because they have a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons, making them very unlikely to gain or lose electrons to form bonds with other elements.


What are gases that do not form compounds with other elements called?

the noble gases


Can helium and argon combine and form a substance?

No. Both are noble gases and do not combine with each other


Elements that do not ordinarly form compounds are?

Noble gases.


What are elements called that do not form compounds?

Noble gases


Which element can potassium not combine with?

Potassium can not combine with noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, as they are already stable and do not readily form compounds with other elements.
