Dihydrogen under certain reaction conditions combines with all elements except ____________.
Dihydrogen under certain reaction conditions combines with all elements except noble gases.
Noble gases do not undergo reactions because the atoms of these elements have fully filled. Valence electrons in their shell which concludes that noble gases are more stable and therefore they do not have any tendency to lose, gain, or share electrons and form bonds with other elements.
Non-reactivity of noble gases is due to the following reasons:
Since noble gases have no tendency to gain or lose electrons and are chemically inert, therefore, noble gases are not reactive toward dihydrogen.
Therefore, dihydrogen under certain reaction conditions combines with all elements except noble gases.
