They are noble gases whose electron shells are full. They cannot, therefore, form ions.

Explain why Krypton and Xenon do not react to form compounds?
The question cannot be answered sensibly because it is based on the misconception that compounds of xenon such as its difluoride, tetrafuoride, hexafluoride, tetroxide, and so on do not exist!
The elements of the group satisfy the octet rule without forming compounds?
NOBLE GAS Noble gas,any of 7 chemical elements that make up of GROUP 18 (VIIIa) of the periodic table.The elements are Helium(He),Neon(Ne),Argon(Ar),Krypton(Kr),Xenon(Xe),Radon(Rn),and Oganesson(Og).
What are more interesting facts about xenon?
Xenon was discovered in 1898 shortly after William Ramsay and Morris Travers discovered krypton and neon. Xenon is a trace element in the Earth's atmosphere. Xenon is found in atmosphere of planet Mars and Jupiter. Xenon can be forced into a solid metallic phase by extreme pressure, as much as several hundred kilobars. In its metallic state, xenon has a sky blue color. There are more than forty radioactive isotopes of xenon. Due to electrical excitement, xenon is used in high-powered lamps and flash lamps such as photography strobe lights. While inert and not readily reacting with other elements, xenon and oxygen compounds can be toxic and explosive.
What group does Krypton and Xenon belong to?
Group 18.
What element can substitute xenon?
Krypton is the nearest substitute.

Do nobel gasses form covalent bonds?
they do not for compounds except for xenon, krypton and argon. These compounds are all very unstable. The first compounds of xenon and krypton were found 50 years ago, and compounds of argon only in the last 15 years.
The noble gases include helium neon argon krypton xenon and radon. What property do these elements share?
They readily form compounds with other elements.
Can heavy noble gases form compounds with fluorine?
Yes. Scientist have found that it does in fact form compounds with krypton, radon and xenon.
Which two noble gases can form compounds with fluorine?
krypton will form compounds like KrF2. Xenon will form compounds like XeF4, XeF6 etc.
What elements belong to the group of noble gases?
helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon
Could a mixture be made up made up of only elements and no compounds explain?
Yes. For example, brass is a mixture of copper and zinc. A mixture of metals is called an alloy. A mixture of inert gases (e.g. helium, argon, neon, xenon, krypton, radon).
Which is more similar to xenon krypton or bromine?
Krypton is more similar.
Which elements has least value for electro-negativity Lithium or Krypton?
Lithium has a lower electronegativity than krypton. The electronegativity for lithium is 0.98; the electronegativity for krypton is 3.0. Note that most noble gases in group 18 have no electronegativity at all since the do not make compounds. However, since krypton and xenon do make compounds under some circumstances, they do have a measurable electronegativity.

Yes. For example, brass is a mixture of copper and zinc. A mixture of metals is called an alloy. A mixture of inert gases (e.g. helium, argon, neon, xenon, krypton, radon).
What is simliar to xenon?
Xenon is similar to other noble gases such as argon and krypton.
The group that consists of unreactive gases?
Generally group 18 is considered to contain non-reactive gases. But some compounds of xenon, krypton and radon are found.
