Answer:
Elements form compounds to satisfy the octet rule. Noble gasses never form compounds because they already satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
The octet Rule is the theory that an element will attempt to gain a valence of 8 by binding with another element in it's vicinity. This can happen in a variety of ways, but the main thing to remember is that they will take the "shortest path" to 8(I.e an element will sometimes lose an electron or 2 if it has a valence 1 or 2 to loop back around to 8, while an element with a valence of 6 or 7 will attempt to gain 2 or 1 electrons).
Valence of elements can be counted by group in the image attached.
Group 1 has a valence of 1, Group 2 has a valence of 2, then we move to group 13 which has a valence of 3, group 14 has a valence of 4, group 15 has a valence of 5, group 16 has 6, group 17 has 7, and group 18 is the noble gasses which have 8.

Explanation:
The order of boiling point depends upon the type of interactions present between the molecules.
Potassium fluoride (KF) is an ionic compound and the opposite ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.
is a covalent compound and the molecules are held together by weak van der Waals' forces.
Formaldehyde is a polar compound due to presence of polar carbonyl group. Hence dipole-dipole force is present between formaldehyde molecules.
Thus the decreasing order of boiling point is:
