noble gases do not bond with metals.
metals
All the elemental gases except for the noble gases come in molecules that are unstable. The noble gases are all stable, they have the maximum number of valence electrons that their outer shell can hold.
Metals (such as aluminum) are held together by "metallic bonding" which can often be described as a "sea of electrons"
Metallic bonds are the electrostatic bonds between metal atoms. The positively charged metal ions bond with the valence electrons of the bonding metal.
A colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element. Xenon and similar elements are called Noble Gases
metals
Group 8A, also known as group 18, are very non-reactive. However, they are all gases, not transition metals. Transition metals are the large family of elements in the middle of the table in between groups 2 and 13 (2A and 3A). Group 8A are the noble gases.

All noble gases are mono atomic at room temperature
The answer is: noble gases
