All Noble gases have a full octet configuration (Full valence* electron shells), it means that they can no longer take in another electron to form compounds (Unless artificial-made) With that, they are extremely low reactivity All noble gases have high ionisation energies and negligible electronegativites. Under normal condition, they are usually monoatomic gases and have low melting and boiling points. To sum it, all nobles gases have very low inter-atomic attraction. *Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are normally the only electron which can participate in chemical bonding
