chemical bonding

• noble gases are found in group 18 of the periodic table
• noble gases have a full valence shell and are said to have a noble gas electronic configuration
• noble gases are chemically unreactive as they do not need to gain, lose or share elctrons
• elements of noble gases exists as single atoms
• atoms with no full valence shell or no noble gases electronic configuration usually undergo chemical changes to become stable
• To achieve a noble gases electronic configuration, ato.s chemically combine to form bonds by gaining, losing or sharing electrons
