Answer to Question #202312 in Inorganic Chemistry for someone

Question

Why are noble gases, like helium and krypton, unlikely to form a bond?

• They have full valence orbitals and already have low energy.
• They always have an equal number of protons and electrons.
• They are nonmetals and gases and therefore their ionization energy is too high to form a bond.
• They do not have valence electrons and therefore cannot form bonds by sharing or trading electrons.

its NOT: They are nonmetals and gases and therefore their ionization energy is too high to form a bond.

Answer 1

• They have full valence orbitals and already have low energy.
