Electrons are knocked off one of the atoms, and usually molecular bonds are lost as shared electrons drop in to fill the lower-shell vacancy. Eventually an electron is returned to return the loose ion to a neutral state. Eventually the molecule fragments form new bonds, either different than before (oxygen to ozone), or the same as before.

What happens when two noble gases are combined?
Noble gases do not react chemically with other noble gases.
What happens when a noble gas loses an electron?
It becomes unstable, so noble gases will not lose or gain electron
Can noble gases have either a positive or a negative charge?
None of them have a negative charge. Or a positive charge. They can be ionized by high voltages, as (for example) neon is in a neon sign. However, neon doesn't have a monopoly on that, all of them exhibit the same behavior.
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 gases contain unbalanced numbers of electrons and protons?
Neutral gases do not; ionized gases do.
The elements that do not ordinarily form compounds are?
Noble gases do not normally form compounds.

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.
What are the nonmetals in nobel gases?
There are no metals in noble gases.All are gases in noble gases.
Phase of matter for noble gases?
All noble gases are gases in their standard state
