Noble gases are gases and 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 donot form compounds under normal conditions.

∙ 13y agoNoble gases are all monatomic (single-atom molecules) and have the following characteristics under normal conditions :
- Odorless
- Colorless
- Low reactivity (due to a full outer electron shell)

What are three compounds of noble gases?
Examples: XeF2, XeO3, XeOF2.
What happens when two noble gases are combined?
Noble gases do not react chemically with other noble gases.
What are the noble gases in Column 18 called?
inert gases / noble gases
What state are noble gases at room temperature?
Gases, hence noble "gases"
Do all of the noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers?
No, not all noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers. The noble gas helium (He) has only two electron shielding layers, while the remaining noble gases (Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon) have three or more electron shielding layers.
What elements share characteristics of neon?
Argon share most characteristics with neon.Both are noble gases on above the other.
Do all noble gases have at least three electron sheilding layers?
No. The first three noble gases (helium, neon and argon) have 1, 2 and 3 energy levels respectively.
What are three compounds of noble gases?
Examples: XeF2, XeO3, XeOF2.
The elements that do not ordinarily form compounds are?
Noble gases do not normally form compounds.

What are the three noble gases?
helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon
What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?
The Group 18 elements are called the noble gases or sometimes inert gases. Wikipedia has information on the noble gases, and a link is provided.
How are noble gases different than noble gases?
it's not
How active is noble gases?
Noble gases are chemically inert.
