Question

This is a model of a Neon atom. How likely is it that this atom would want to bond with another atom? Neon atom Question 5 options:
A.This atom is very likely to bond with another atom.
B. This atom is only slightly likely to bond with another atom
C.This atom is not likely at all to bond with another atom.

Answer 1

If this is just a normal model of a Neon atom in which it has 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 in the second, then this atom is not likely at all to bond with another atom because it has 8 electrons in its outermost or valence shell. Because 8 is 8, Neon doesn't need to combine with another element.
