Noble gases are also known as the inert gases, meaning they don't react because they have a stable octet (eight electrons in their valence shell). They all have eight electrons in their valence shell with the exception of helium because helium is rebel, but they are all nonreactive including helium.
All the noble gases have 8 electrons in their valence shell except helium which have 2 electrons in its valence shell.
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons) and have stable electronic configuration.
The noble gases (group 18/VIIIA/0) are naturally occurring elements that have a full valence shell with eight valence electrons (an octet), except for helium which has two valence electrons (a duet). This makes these elements very stable and very nonreactive.
Noble gases do not like giving up electrons. There are 2 electrons in the outer shell of helium and 8 electrons in the outer shell of the other noble gases (group 18 of the periodic table), representing filled shells.
These are the noble gases.
D. Noble Gases
Noble gases are also known as the inert gases, meaning they don't react because they have a stable octet (eight electrons in their valence shell). They all have eight electrons in their valence shell with the exception of helium because helium is rebel, but they are all nonreactive including helium.
Noble gases differ because they obtain a full valence electrons of 8 on the outer shell. OCTET RULE: states that every element aspires to be a noble gas and have a full valence level.
These are the noble gases which have a complete valence shell.
All the noble gases have 8 electrons in their valence shell except helium which have 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Noble gases have atoms with the valence electron shell filled.
Inert gases have 8 valence electrons. This is why they are inert, they have a complete octet formed of electrons and are in their lowest energy configuration.
It differs because it only has 2 electrons in its valence shell, and all the other noble gases have 8 electrons.
