Q

According to this, atoms of all elements, other than inert gases, combine to form molecules

A

because they have configuration. incomplete valence shell and tend to attain a stable electronic configuration similar to noble gases. Atoms can combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another or by sharing of valence electrons in order to achieve the stable outer shell of eight electrons.

Q

Characteristics of lonic compounds
Electrical conductivity

A

Ionic compounds are crystalline solids and so their ions are tightly held together. The ions, therefore, cannot move freely, and they do not conduct electricity in solid state. However, in molten state their aqueous solutions conduct electricity.
