They have filled valence shells. Atoms undergo chemical bonding in order to have filled valence shells by sharing electrons or transferring electrons. Because the noble gases already have filled valence shells, they have no need to react with other elements.

What are the least reactive noble gases or metalloids?
noble gases are least reactive
What is the most non-reactive family?
The noble gases are the least reactive among all chemical elements.
Why are noble gases almost non-reactive?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / electron energy shells. They are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally they will not accept / gain / share electrons and they do not form compounds.
What are Helium and neon classified as on the Periodic table?
these gases are the noble gases or inert gases. They are non reactive and have stable valence electrons
Noble gases are chemically?
Noble gases are chemically inert. They have completely filled orbitals, hence are generally non-reactive (or chemically inert).
Which element is non reactive to noble gas?
Most elements are non reactive to noble gases.
What are the similarities and differences between the halogen family and the inert gases?
halogens are reactive gases and noble gases are non reactive!=)
Are noble gases reactive or non-reactive?
They are generally unreactive as their orbitals are completely filled.
What family is non reactive?
The noble gases are the least reactive among all chemical elements.
What are the least reactive noble gases or metalloids?
noble gases are least reactive
What is the most non-reactive family?
The noble gases are the least reactive among all chemical elements.
How are the noble gases different from all the other gases in the periodic table?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals and are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive).
Why are noble gases almost non-reactive?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / electron energy shells. They are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally they will not accept / gain / share electrons and they do not form compounds.
Are noble gases the most reactive gases?
No, they are the least reactive gasses.
What are Helium and neon classified as on the Periodic table?
these gases are the noble gases or inert gases. They are non reactive and have stable valence electrons
Are noble gases reactive?
no
What group of elements consists of non reactive non metals?
Non-reactive elements or compounds are called inert. This is a bit misleading, however - anything can be made to react given the right circumstances. The noble gases are about as close as you can get to truly inert, but even they will react under extreme conditions. >>M.T.<<
