Do all atoms form compounds?

Answer 1

no the noble gasses in the far right column of the periodic table never bond with other atoms because their outer electron cloud is full

Answer 2

No, all noble gases, some metals, and still some other elements don't form compounds. However, some other elements form diatomic compounds like H2, O2, ... A diamond has its carbon atoms linked, but still its formula is C. Metals that can exist by themselves are Au, Ag, Hg, Pt, ...
An exception is xenon hexafluoride.

Answer 3

yes, Atoms form compounds by losing, gaining or sharing enough electrons to achieve the outer electron configuration of a noble gas .
Atoms form compounds to fill their outer energy level with eight electrons.
Atoms form compounds by sharing electrons to create full - levels which keeps them balanced and uniform

Answer 4

No. There are molecules of, say, pure iron- two atoms of iron. Also, there are some inert compounds that never combine into compounds- gold, for example. Also, the inert gasses- Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon Radon
Ununoctium. The last exists only in theory. It has never been isolated.

Answer 5

to be more specific, most of the noble gases do not form compounds, through some work Xenon will form a compound with Flourine XeF6

Answer 6

More or less. Some elements are more reactive than others.

Even noble gases such as Neon, Argon, and Krypton can form compounds, but not readily:

Answer 7

no not all atoms compounds depend upon valences.

Answer 8

No, some of really really heavy elements are man made that are way too unstable.

Answer 9

No. The "noble" or inert elements don't.
