Why does group 18 in the periodic table not form ions?

Chemistry

Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements: 
- They have 8 valence electrons. 
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable). 
- Are stable 
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases

Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions: 

Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive. 

Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond. 

That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond. 

I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.

Answer:

the physical and chemical properties of the products are different from the reactants

Explanation:

A chemical reaction involves the chemical combination of two or more elements/compounds called Reactants to give one or more different elements/compounds called Products. A chemical reaction occurs in such a way that the atoms of the reactants are restructured to form product(s) that is/are entirely different from the reactants.

In a chemical reaction, the physical and chemical properties of the products differ from that of the reactants since different chemical compounds/elements are formed as products. The physical properties of a substance, which include colour, melting and boiling point etc. will differ in the reactants and products formed. Also, the chemical structure and identity of the reactants will be changed to give rise to a different chemical property in the products.

the most likely explanation for the increase in average beak size of the medium ground finch is that the
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Well according to the Law of Evolution, depending on where the Finch lives and what it eats depends on it's beak size. For example, if a Finch lives on the coast and eats small fruits it will have a short and stubby beak to peck at the fruits, but if the Finch ate crabs it's beak would be long to swoop down and pluck up crabs.

Hope this helps!

At STP (101.3 kPa, 0 °C), what volume would 2.00 moles of oxygen gas occupy? The gas constant is 8.31
lakkis [162]

Answer:

44.8 L

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Equation -

i.e.,

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = moles

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature

Using the information given in the question, Volume of the gas can be calculated -

P = 101.3 kPa

V = ?

n = 2.00 moles

R = 8.31

T = 0 degree C = 273.15 K

Using the above data, and putting the data in the respective formula -

PV = nRT

101.3 kPa * V = 2.00 moles * 8.31 * 273.15 K

V = 44.8 L

Hence, the volume of the given gas = 44.8 L
