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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Mole is base unit of substance. The number of particles in one mole is equal to 6.022 × 10²³. The number of particle in a mole is called as Avogadro's number.

The mole of substance is the amount of substance that contain elementary particles as the number of atoms. the symbol of mole is mol. it is the SI unit of amount of substance. The number particles are ion one mole of substances is 6.022 × 10²³. The number of particles in one mole of substance is called as Avogadro's number.

Thus, Mole is base unit of substance. The number of particles in one mole is equal to 6.022 × 10²³. The number of particle in a mole is called as Avogadro's number.
