The noble gases are the least reactive group of elements. This group, located in Group 18 (VIII A) of the periodic table, includes helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn).
Noble gases have a complete outer electron shell, making them stable and less likely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Their full outer electron shells give them little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons, which are the typical behaviors of reactive elements. Due to their stable electronic configuration, noble gases exhibit very low chemical reactivity under normal conditions.
