Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

Why are noble gases referred to snobs?
The noble gases do not interact or react to the other elements because they have electron balanced shells. They do not need one or have one to give. Because of this they don't inteact with the other elements unless forced. Not unlike the humans that think they are "noble". Hence the name Noble gases.
What are 2 simmilarities between noble gases and alkali metals?
If alkali metals loses one electron, they achieve the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gases.
Are the noble gases stable or unstable?
All noble gases are stable except the last one, i.e. Radon(Rn)
Is krypton a metal?
Krypton is a gas, one of the noble or intert gases.
Is oxyegen a noble gas?
noble gases are those gases which dont react with anything. they are also called inert gases. oxygen is not one of them because it does react; infact, all the burning processes cant take place without oxygen.
What family argon belongs to?
It is one of the noble gases.
Where can one find information on inert gases?
One can find information on inert gases in chemistry books such as The Noble Gases by J.Thomas or online. Science Daily has a referenced article on noble gases.

Which noble gas only has one atom?
All noble gases have only one type of atom
What is the family name of neon?
The Noble gases, these are unreactive elements which exist as single atoms due to them having a full outer shell of electrons.
What are 2 simmilarities between noble gases and alkali metals?
If alkali metals loses one electron, they achieve the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gases.
Why were the noble gases at one time called the inert gases?
Noble gases are gases and have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and called inert gases.
Are the noble gases stable or unstable?
All noble gases are stable except the last one, i.e. Radon(Rn)
Is Magnesium one of the noble gases?
No. Magnesium is a group 2 metal.,
What family name is for Neon?
Neon is one of the 'noble gases' group
Is krypton a metal?
Krypton is a gas, one of the noble or intert gases.
Is Chlorine one of the noble gases?
No. Chlorine is a halogen. It is highly reactive.
