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.

What volume of a 2.5 M stock solution of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is required to prepare
Schach [20]

<span> </span>

Answer is: volume is 20 mL.<span>
c</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 2,5 M.<span>
c</span>₂(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M.<span>
V</span>₂(CH₃COOH) = 100 mL.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = ?<span>
c</span>₁(CH₃COOH) · V₁(CH₃COOH) = c₂(CH₃COOH) · V₂(CH₃COOH).<span>
2,5 M · V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M · 100 mL.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M · 100 mL ÷ 2,5 M.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 20 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L =0,02 L.

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.
