Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. 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.

1) are unreactive: they have full outer shells and don't need to react with anything

2) when an electric current is plassed throught them, they light up: this is to do with the energy released by the electrons when reverting to a rest state
