How does an ionic bond form?

Why cant Krypton form an ionic bond?

  • Answer:

    Krypton is a noble gas, group 8 in the periodic table. Noble gases are fully balanced because their outer shells are fully occupied with electrons, and therefore do not react with other atoms by gaining or losing electrons.

Because it already has 8 electrons.

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.
