How does an ionic bond form?

Why cant arsenic and krypton form an ionic bond?

  • Answer:

    Krypton (Kr) is a noble gas (inert) - it has a stable electron octet, (full outer shell) thus will not react. Also, arsenic is in group 5. It will not form an ionic bond with anything in group 5,6,7, especially not 8.
