Inert gases, because at that time it was believed that these gases had no chemical reactions at all.
Inert gasses are also called noble gasses. These gasses are unlikely to participate in chemical reactions. Inert gasses are located in the 8th group of the periodic table.Inert gasses are also called noble gasses. These gasses are unlikely to participate in chemical reactions.

because they are not rapidly react with any other compounds are elements
With very few exceptions (you can make argon fluorides, but you have to work at it), the noble gases are nonreactive--they won't form compounds.
No they are called gases because that's what they are - gas
Group 8a
Noble gasses are historically known as inert gasses - so true
Noble gases can be found in the atmosphere; the air on Earth is partly composed of the noble gasses.
The noble gases were once called inert gases because until about 1960, no compounds of them had been discovered.
They are called noble gasses. He,Ne,Ar are few examples.
because they are not rapidly react with any other compounds are elements
The five noble gasses are neon, xenon, kryton, helium, argon, radon, and ununoctium.
The noble gasses are found in the right-most column (group 18) on the period table.
