Why doesn’t neon readily form an ionic bond?

Chemistry

Goryan [66]2 years ago

By definition of noble gases, neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3>Noble gases</h3>

Noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they practically do not form chemical compounds. This means that they do not react with other substances, nor do they even react between atoms of the same gas, as is the case with diatomic gases such as oxygen (O₂).

The chemical stability of the noble gases and therefore the absence of spontaneous evolution towards any other chemical form, implies that they are already in a state of maximum stability.

All chemical transformations involve valence electrons, they are involved in the process of covalent bond formation and the formation of ions. Therefore, the practically null reactivity of the noble gases is due to the fact that they have a complete valence shell, which gives them a low tendency to capture or release electrons.

Since the noble gases do not react with the other elements, they are also called inert gases.

<h3>Neon</h3>

Neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

Atoms of neon do not lose or gain electrons of their outermost orbit easily. So they do not form ionic bonds.Neon do not form ionic bonds is that atoms of neon already have a stable octet in their outer shell.

D. A disadvantage of nuclear power is that waste products are unsafe and hard to store. They must be stored for many hundreds of years before they becomes safe and easier to dispose of, and we currently don't have a good method of storing them in the meantime.

Independent would be the amount of sugar given and the dependent would be the amount of cavities

Scientists have control groups so they can have evidence to show the difference between that one and the experimental ones.

And the independent variable is the one that changes because with out it changing you wouldn't get different results.

I could be wrong tho sorryyy! but i hope this helps

(80+125+45) / 10 = 250/10 =25
25 meters per minute= 0.41 meters/second

the direction and stopping time is irrelevant to the problem.

What happens when chlorine from<br> CFCs mixes with ozone?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Because they are extremely stable molecules, CFCs do not react easily with other chemicals in the lower atmosphere. ... Free chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, taking one oxygen atom to form chlorine monoxide and leaving an ordinary oxygen molecule.
