Interpretation:
The meaning of the noble gas envy needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Noble gases are those which are most non-reactive gases in the periodic table. Some of these gases are helium (He), Neon (Ne), argon (Ar) etc. They belong to group 18 of the periodic table.

Answer to Problem 2E
Noble gas envy is a term which is used to explain the tendency of all the elements to have stable electronic configurations.
Explanation of Solution
All the noble gases have very stable electronic configurations. There are eight electrons in the valence shell which is known as octet configuration (for helium its duplet).
Elements try to attain octet configuration either by removal of electrons or by gaining electrons in case of ionic bonding. In case of covalent bonding elements equally share electrons to have complete octets and stable electronic configurations. This general tendency of elements is known as noble gas envy.
Tendency of getting octet configuration by elements is known as noble gas envy.

- Can you please help mne with this problem. Im a visual person, so can you redraw it, potentislly color code and then as well explain it. I know im given CO2 use that to explain to me, as well as maybe give me a second example just to clarify even more with drawings (visuals) and explanations.arrow_forwardPart 1.
