Which of the following elements can form chemical compounds. CHECK ALL THAT APPLY.
Xe
Rn
Kr
Ne
H
He
Is this a trick question...can't all of them form chemical compounds?
Xe
Rn
Kr
Ne
H
He
Sorry, these are the choices...
ALL of theml however, Xe, Rn, Kr, Ne, and He are considered noble gases and inert. However, within the last 20 years or so, all but He have been found to form a few compounds. I expect the answer to the problem is H
Yes, you are correct. All of the elements listed can form chemical compounds. However, to determine this, you can refer to the periodic table or consider their respective positions in the periodic table.
The periodic table is an arrangement of elements based on their atomic numbers and chemical properties. The elements on the left side of the periodic table are metals, and they have a tendency to lose electrons during chemical reactions to form positive ions. The elements on the right side of the periodic table are nonmetals, and they have a tendency to gain electrons during chemical reactions to form negative ions.
In the given list of elements, Xe (Xenon), Rn (Radon), Kr (Krypton), Ne (Neon), H (Hydrogen), and He (Helium) are all on the right side of the periodic table. Therefore, they are all nonmetals and have a tendency to form chemical compounds by gaining or sharing electrons.
Hence, the correct answer is: Xe, Rn, Kr, Ne, H, He.
