Question

Atoms of most elements do not exist independently. Name two elements which exist as 1 independent atoms

Answer 1

All the Noble Gas elements like Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon will exist independently because they are chemically unreactive.

Explanation:

• Usually, to get the octet configuration or to gain the Noble gas configuration, all the atoms or elements are bonded with other atoms or ions or elements with which they can obtain octet configuration.

• They cannot exist independently due to the only reason that they cannot have octet configuration.
• Almost atoms with all the elements were 'chemically reactive' and do not exist in 'free state'.

• But the Noble gas elements are already having octet configuration in it.

• So, they can exist independently but they too will prefer to bond with among themselves or with some other elements or ions to gain stability.
