Group 8 contains the noble gasses. They are nonreactive because they have a completed shell of electrons. Other elements react to try to get an outer shell that contains 8 electrons, but the noble gasses already have that so they don't need to react.

Which group on the periodic table would not be reactive chemically?

The noble gases, column 18 or VIII of a periodic table, are the least reactive. However, in the last few decades, compounds of at least the heavier members of this group have in fact been made.
