Why do elements form compounds? What elements never form compounds and why?

Chemistry

Alja [10]3 years ago

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.

describe how a physical property such as mass or Texture can change without causing a change in the substance
Tom [10]

You have to be very careful with this question. A change in mass can also occur in chemical changes especially if you have too much of something. For example

CH4 + 1.5 02 ===> CO2 + H2O

If you have too much of either CH4 or O2, there will be some CH4 or O2 left over. There has been a change in mass that you have too much of.

However that is not the point of the question. It is just something you need to be aware of.

Suppose you have a piece of aluminum and you take a course grinder after it. You will change the texture of the side you took the grinder to. If the aluminum has been anodized (a color has been put on it's surface), you may grind the color off or if it is just plain aluminum, you may roughen the surface, but you won't change what the aluminum will do chemically.

You may need only a small portion of the aluminum and you grind off just what you need. That will change the mass of both what you took off and the piece that you want, but the aluminum will still do whatever chemical property you need to use.

So you can change both texture and mass without changing the chemical properties of the substance whose mass or texture you are changing.
