Chemistry

Each element tries to achieve stability by forming a noble gas configuration (2 or 8 valence electrons)

Carbon has 4 valence electrons, achieving stability requires 4 more electrons

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, achieving stability requires 1 more electron

Carbon and hydrogen bond covalently by sharing their electrons so that they become stable (carbon binds 4 hydrogens) to form CH₄ (methane)

A carbon iota can bond with four other iotas and is just like the four-hole wheel, whereas an oxygen iota, which can bond only to two, is just like the two-hole wheel.

The reason that Noble Gases do not react is because
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Noble gases are odorless, colorless, nonflammable, and monotonic gases that have low chemical reactivity. The full valence electron shells of these atoms make noble gases extremely stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds because they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons.
