As you may or may not know, atoms of elements take and give electrons in order to form bonds and, therefore, . However, noble gases have a full valence shell (8 electrons in the valence shell).

Normally, in an atomic reaction, there is an instability in the atoms' valence shells. For example, oxygen has only 6 . In order for an atom to be completely stable it needs to have 8 . So, two hydrogen atoms with one electron each bond with the oxygen atom, creating a stabilization.

However, in the case of noble gases, their atoms already have a full valence shell, so there is no instability and no need to form bonds with other elements. In fact, noble gases got their name from their inactivity with other elements.

Is fluorine more reactive or less reactive than chlorine?

Of the following series of elements....which one is MOST REACTIVE, and which one is LEAST REACTIVE?

And as for the most reactive, you have an alkali metal versus oxygen gas. AS an alkali metal, lithium is a powerful reducing agent. And oxygen gas is a potent...

Mendeleev's version of the periodic table does not have noble (inert) gases. Why do you think the noble gases were late in being discovered?

Chemistry is driven by the observation of chemical reactivity, by the analysis of how matter transforms in chemical reaction. Of course, given inert materials, there is no chemical reactivity...

How do 1st, 2nd and 3rd ionisation energies compare in metals, non-metals and noble gases?

And we would also expect them to increase in the order...... $"metals"$ $<$ $"non-metals"$ $<$ $"Noble Gases"$. So why? Metals are generally regarded as electron-rich materials, whose are delocalized and...

Do ionic bonds occur between metal and non-metal ions, non-metal and non-metal ions, or metal and metal ions?

Ionic bonds occur between anions and cations. And cations may be metallic, i.e., $M^(2+)$, or they may be non-metallic, i.e. ammonium salts, $NH_4^+$. And anions, while typically non-metallic, i.e. $X^-$...

How many valence electrons are found in most atoms of the noble gases? How would you use this information to explain why the noble gases are non-reactive?

Remember that all noble gases are free from being involved in reactions as they are stable, all strive to be stable, I.E have a full outer shell of electrons, noble...

Noble gases, such as helium and neon, have stable, outer level electron configurations. How does this fact explain why atoms of noble gases usually do not form chemical bonds?

The term "stable" in Chemistry simply means that the atoms have an octet shell. With a full valence shell, electrons cannot be shared nor transferred. Since Noble Gases are known...

The gases in a hair spray can are at a temperature of 27 C and a pressure of 30 kPa. If the gases in the can reach a pressure 90 kPa, the can will explode. To what temperature must the gases be raised in order for the can to explode?

Since the volume is constant but the pressure and temperature are changing, this is an example of Gay-Lussac's Law: $color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a) p_1/T_1=p_2/T_2color(white)(a/a)|)))" "$ We can rearrange the...
