The atom is stable when its outermost shell is full because of the fact that it is "happy" and does not want to bond with other atoms.In other words, it doesnt have room for any more bonds with other atoms.

What region on the periodic table has atoms that rarely if ever chemically bond?
Noble Gases: Because Noble Gases are already in a stable form, they are not as likely to bond with other atoms as are those farther from a stable form. Noble Gases are found in group VIII, which is the far rightmost column.
Do noble gases have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
Yes, the outermost energy level of the atoms of the noble gases are filled, meaning that they have the maximum number of electrons. This is why noble gases are stable and unreactive. The atoms of reactive elements share or transfer electrons in order to fill their outermost energy levels, making them stable like the noble gases.
What do atoms other than the Noble Gases have to do in order to become stable?
Atoms gain, lose or share electrons and try to attain noble gas configuration.
What do noble gases form?
Noble gases are stable in nature. They are placed in group-18.
Do noble gases exist as atoms or molecules?
Yes. All noble gases are mono atomic. Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. 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.

Why is it uncommon for noble gases to form chemicl bonds?
Atoms or molecules do chemical reactions to be stable, noble gasses are already stable, so they do not react with other molecules to form chemical bonds

Why do ions of atoms have the same electron configurations as noble gases?
Potassium and chlorine are the only two that can.
Why do noble gases combine with atoms of any other element?
Noble gases are generally unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, making them stable. However, under certain conditions such as high pressure or high temperature, noble gases can react with atoms of other elements to form compounds. This occurs as these conditions can force electrons from the noble gas to form bonds with other atoms, allowing them to combine.
What are noble gases famous for?
Being extremely stable. Noble gases have full valence shells.
What do metallic and nonmetallic ions need to have a stale outer level?
All atoms tend to have a stable structure similar to that of noble gases.
Which family does not easily combine with other atoms?
Noble gases does not easily combine with other elementsbecause they are stable and have complete outermost shell.
Why noble gases are monoatomic gases in the periodic table?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and are monoatomic.
