There are 7 known elements with full electron shells, six of which are referred to as noble gases because they are, generally, unreactive with other elements because of their full electron shells (their full electron shells make them resistant to forming bonds with other atoms to form molecules): Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. Ununoctium (element 118) also has a full electron shell, but due to relativistic effects is believed to be a solid at room temperatures (if there were enough atoms of it; it is extremely unstable with a half-life of less than a tenth of a second) so may not be considered a noble gas (all the other known elements with full electron shells are gases at room temperature) but, discounting radioactive decay which causes Ununoctium atoms to fission into lighter, reactive ones, is not chemically reactive with other elements.
