The inert gases can also be called noble gases due to their stability and lack of reactivity. These gases include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
Noble Gases
The noble gases are sometimes called "inert gases" because they are extremely stable and do not easily form chemical bonds with other elements due to having full valence electron shells.
All inert gases exist as gases in nature; but today the name inert remain only traditional. The so-called noble gases has known compounds (excepting neon).

Noble Gases
Inert gases are the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn). They used to be called the inert gases until Neil Bartlett proved that you could make compounds out of some of them, so they were renamed "inert" gases.
Noble gases are gases and have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and called inert gases.
Noble gases used to be called inert gases because until the 1960's no chemical compounds of a noble gas had been made hence they were believed to be completely inert. Now compounds of argon, xenon radon have been made. These are all very reactive. Compounds of helium and neon have not yet been made.

The noble gases are sometimes called "inert gases" because they are extremely stable and do not easily form chemical bonds with other elements due to having full valence electron shells.
These elements are called inert gases because they are extremely stable and unreactive due to their full outer electron shells. This stability makes them unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements.
