Question

Elements in the last group on the periodic table readily form both ionic and covalent

compounds.
True or false ?

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Elements in the last group are called Noble gases. They are found in group VIIIa or Group 18. They have a complete outer shell, or have 8 valence electrons (except for Helium (He) because it has 2), so they are basically stable. Stable atoms have very low reactivity, or they do not readily form any type of bonds because they already have a full outer shell or they do not need to accept or gain electrons to be stable.
