group 7 - halogens group 8 - noble gases
As long as you're referring to the rightmost group (starting with Helium) then yes, they are referred to as Noble/Inert gases.Note: Many scientists will call it group 18 instead of group 8.
All of the elements in Group 18 (or VIII A).
VIII group or the noble gases
Helium and neon have completely filled valence orbitals. The are stable and do not react with other elements. Hence they are considered to be novel or noble.
group 7 - halogens group 8 - noble gases
Argon belongs to group VIII, the noble gas family. Elements in group VIII are the most uncreative elements, thus it is safe to store reactive substances in them because they will not react with the reactive substance.

Periodic column 18 or VIII contains only noble gases. None of them have won a Nobel prize.
The elements in column 18 of a wide form periodic table or Column VIII of a narrow form periodic table, commonly called the noble gases. Also, both elements in the first period, the elements in groups 15, 16, and 17 of the second period, and the element in group 17 of the third period.
All of the elements in Group 18 (or VIII A).
I - Alkali Metals II - Earth Alkali Metals III - Boron Group IV - Carbon Group V - Nitrogen Group VI - Chalcogenes VII - Halogenes VIII - Noble Gases
Group viii or 0
all elements in group 8 are very stable as they have 8 electrons in their outermost electron shell, satisfying the octet rule. They are very stable and are called noble gas. they exist in a monoatomic gas.
VIII group or the noble gases
Helium and neon have completely filled valence orbitals. The are stable and do not react with other elements. Hence they are considered to be novel or noble.
As we all know that noble gases are also called INERT GASES, so the subgroup VIII of GROUP 'A' contains only noble gases and inert gases so helium and neon are also in VIII-A so they are inert gases.
