Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons) and have stable electronic configuration.

when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
Yes they do, because, for example, neon has 2 electrons in its inner shell and 8 on its outer shell; these shells are both full. Helium, the lightest of the noble gases, has only 2 electrons, but that completes it only shell. All the other noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, which is a stable arrangement.
Noble gases have completely filled outer most shell. They are chemically inert and exist as monoatomic species.
The innermost shell contains a maximum of 2 electrons, therefore like the other noble gases, it has a full outer shell. The other noble gases all have eight in their outer shells.
This is the noble gases familiy.

These are the noble (inert) gases.
The noble gases
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.

The so-called noble gases have the outer electron shell full, with 8 electrons; this structure lead to a very low chemical reactivity but now they are not considered as inert elements.
The innermost shell contains a maximum of 2 electrons, therefore like the other noble gases, it has a full outer shell. The other noble gases all have eight in their outer shells.

inert
Having the outer shell of electrons filled noble gases are very stable.
Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.
