Question

The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases, elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. Why don’t these gases tend to form chemical bonds?

Answer 1

I think this is because they already have 8 valence electrons, so forming chemical bonds wouldn't really be easy, as it would be 0 valence.

(that's what i put in my lab lol)

Answer 2

We call these reactive elements, becausethese atoms really like to follow the buddysystem and form bonds with other atoms.Noble gases, however, don't have thisproblem. Their outer shells are filled to the max, so they don't need to bond or react with any other atoms.
