Silicon & Neon Compound: Formula & Explanation

AI Thread Summary
Aluminum, with a positive 3 charge, forms AlCl3 with chlorine, which has a negative 1 charge, balancing the charges. Silicon has a positive 4 charge, while neon is neutral, leading to the conclusion that they do not form a compound. The discussion emphasizes that silicon and neon are unlikely to react due to neon's inert nature. Participants suggest that this scenario may be a homework question, but ultimately agree that no reaction occurs. Therefore, silicon and neon do not form a compound in typical conditions.

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.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
