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.

How many moles of AlCl3 are in 2.25L of a 0.15 molar solution?
Darya [45]

Answer:

Option C. 0.34 moles

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molarity = 0.15M

Volume = 2.25L

Mole =

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 0.15 x 2.25

Mole = 0.34mole

The number of mole of AlCl3 present in the solution is 0.34mole.

Why do California and Peru both have large deposits of gold?
irinina [24]
Both California and Peru have or have had significant gold deposits because of their proximity to where two tectonic plate boundaries meet. Off the California coast there is the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate which meet at the San Andreas Fault but there also is the Farallon Plate which apparently has subducted somewhat below the North American Plate. Off Peru, the Nazca Plate is subducting under the South American Plate and which has caused the Andean orogeny.

If we find that there is a linear correlation between the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and the global​ temp
loris [4]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A linear correlation means the increase in one variable cause an increase in the other variable. In a graph, the linear correlation can be demonstrated by a right-slanted straight diagonal line. Therefore if an increase in carbon dioxide causes a directly proportional increase in global temperatures then the two are correlated.
