The noble gases in Group 18, or sometimes Group 8depending on what type of Periodic Table you are looking at, are viewed as the most unreactive elements in the periodic table. This is because their shells/energy levels/orbitals are filled with electrons and they are stable (not requiring any extra electrons). They most commonly exist as monoatoms (singular atoms i.e. a single He atom is a monoatom). However, some compounds are known that contain the heavier noble gas elements. For example, xenon can form the compound XeF4 (xenon tetrafluoride) which is a stable compound. The reasons for this are quite complex and involve some interesting orbital interactions between the xenon and fluorine atoms.
