Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions.

What is noble gases used for?

Not much. Noble gases have full valence shells, or full outermost shells, so they don't tend to bond with many other elements. They are also the most stable of all the element families.

Why cant noble gases mix with other elements?

!. Noble gases can be mixed with other gases. 2. Noble gases are unreactive (only a limited number of compounds are known today) because the valence electron shell is completely filled.
