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.

Noble gases are chemically?
Noble gases are chemically inert. They have completely filled orbitals, hence are generally non-reactive (or chemically inert).
Explain why the noble gases are sometimes called inert gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).
The noble gases are almost completely nonreactive for this reason they are sometimes called what?
Inert gases. This was a common term for them until the first reaction between a noble gas and another material was discovered a few decades ago.
Noble gases have a full outer shell and are inactive These atoms are considered?
inert
Which region contain stable noble inert gases in other words which elements do not react with other element?
Noble gases are placed in the group 18 of the periodic table of elements; from about 50 years noble gases are not considered as totally inert elements.
What is another word for chemically nonreactive?
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
The noble gases are almost completely nonreactive for this reason they are sometimes called?
Inert Gases

Group 8A also referred to as Group 18 elements on the periodic table share which characteristics?
The group 18 elements, also called the noble gases, are gaseous elements, completely nonreactive, with a full, stable valence shell. They were the last elements to be discovered because they're inert.
Why are noble gasses called inert gasses?
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.

What is the family of elemnts in nonreactive gases called?
Noble gases
Is neon a part of the noble gases family or the inert gases family?
Yes. Neon is a part of noble gases (or inert gases)
Noble gases have a full outer shell and are inactive These atoms are considered?
inert
What is helium considered as?
Helium is considered as totally inert and unreactive. It is the first element of the noble gases.
How active is noble gases?
Noble gases are chemically inert.
