Question

(a) What are noble gases? What is the characteristic of the electronic configuration of noble gases?
(b) What is the cause of chemical bonding (or chemical combination) of atoms of elements?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The characteristics of the electronic configuration of noble gases are that these gases have a stable electronic configuration, having achieved a complete outer shell, with an exact number of an electron that its outer shell can hold.
• A chemical bond is formed by the interactions, between two atoms, which involve rearrangement of electrons in the interacting atoms. This rearrangement may be due to either transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. These rearrangements result in forces which hold the interacting atoms, together.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Answer:

1. The characteristics of the electronic configuration of noble gases are that these gases have a stable electronic configuration, having achieved a complete outer shell, with an exact number of an electron that its outer shell can hold.
2. A chemical bond is formed by the interactions, between two atoms, which involve rearrangement of electrons in the interacting atoms. This rearrangement may be due to either transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. These rearrangements result in forces which hold the interacting atoms, together.
