Silicon & Neon Compound: Formula & Explanation

In summary, the conversation discussed the charges of aluminum and chlorine, which result in the formula AlCl3. The question then arises about the compound formed by silicon, with a positive 4 charge, and neon, with a neutral charge. The participants speculate that the two elements may not react, but it is unclear if this is the final conclusion.

If aluminum has a positive 3 charge and chlorine has a negative 1 charge, then the formula becomes AlCl3, because the negative three in chlorine would balance out the positive 3 in aluminum right? So, what about this? Silion has a positive 4 charge. and neon has a neutral charge. What would the compound be?

I don't see how you would react the two without wildly exciting the neon. Is this a homework question? Does it give the option "does not react"?

Hmm...it never gave any options..
But I could still say that these won't react...
Is that your final conclusion?

So long as this is a high school or first year university question, they don't react.

Use this answer at your own discretion.
