Noble gases 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 generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

Noble gases are stable because they have a full outer electron shell, which makes them unreactive. This full outer shell gives noble gases low energy levels and high ionization energies, making it difficult for them to gain or lose electrons. This stability is due to their electronic configuration, as they have a complete set of valence electrons.

What do noble gases form?
Noble gases are stable in nature. They are placed in group-18.
Why do noble gases rarely form bond with other atom?
the nobel gases are already stable, with full octets of valence electrons
Are the noble gases stable or unstable?
All noble gases are stable except the last one, i.e. Radon(Rn)
What elements are most stable on their own?
the noble gases
What is the outer shell of the noble gases called?
The outer shell of noble gases is called the valence shell. It is stable because it is fully filled with electrons, making noble gases chemically inert.

What are noble gases famous for?
Being extremely stable. Noble gases have full valence shells.
What is the biggest characteristic about noble gases?
They are stable.

Yes
What are examples of stable elements?
Noble/inert gases
What elements are most stable on their own?
the noble gases
Which noble gases are the most chemically stable?
Gases with eight valence electrons.
Are the noble gases stable or unstable?

What is the outer shell of the noble gases called?
The outer shell of noble gases is called the valence shell. It is stable because it is fully filled with electrons, making noble gases chemically inert.
What is the relationship between the stable ions and the noble gases?
Generally (but not always) stable ions will have the same the electronic configuration as that of noble gases (completely filled valence shells / orbitals)
