Why are noble gases, like helium and krypton, unlikely to form a bond?
A. They do not have valence electrons and therefore cannot form bonds by sharing or trading
electrons.
B. They always have an equal number of protons and electrons.
C. They have full valence
orbitals and already have low energy.
D. They are nonmetals and gases and therefore their ionization energy is too high to form a bond.

Answer :

Answer:

The valence electrons are the only parts of an atom that make chemical bonds. Noble gases don't form chemical bonds because they have a full outer shell (8 electrons).
