Yes, Atom would.
Atoms try their best to have their outermost electron orbital filled. Most elements, with the exception of the lightest few, will do this by achieving eight valance electrons (the lightest few need only two, due to the first orbital shell being much smaller). Most atoms (all but the noble gasses) can do this by ionizing (shedding or gaining electrons), but this gives them a charge which also makes the atom "unhappy". Only though bonding with other ions to form larger molecules can an atom have a neutral state and a full electron orbital.
This state towards which all atoms strive is the state in which the noble gasses exist naturally.

What are five elements that are noble gases?
I think it would be easier to say what gases ARE noble gases. The six noble gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. Any other elements are not Noble gases. This can include elements like Gold, Mercury, Calcium, Potassium, and barium.
What are the only elements in that exist you nature as isolated atoms?
I would say the noble gases since as gases their atoms are isolated and they do not form diatomic molecules like all the other gaseous elements.
Can noble gases bond with every atom?
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. However noble gases like krypton and xenon will bind with highly electronegative elements like oxygen and fluorine.
Are noble gases polar or non-polar?
Noble gases are non polar like all other elements.
What is the hardness of the noble gases?
it has no hardness ohk... then what exactly do you call solid oxygen?
What is an atom that doesn't hang on to other atoms?
noble gases like helium, neon, argon

How can an atom that has 5 valance electrons achieved a full valance of electrons?
it was to gain 3 more valence electrons so it can be like the noble gases.

What are the other noble gases that are like helium?
HELIUM,NEON,ARGON,KRYPTON,XENON and RADON are the noble gases
Are noble gases polar or non-polar?
Noble gases are non polar like all other elements.
What gases are inside light bulbs?
Noble(nonreactive) gases like argon
Why do helium neon and argon have no electronegativity values?
Electronegativity is a measurement of the power of an atom to attract electrons. The Noble gases, like helium, neon, and argon all have full valence shells. This means they are very stable and have no need to bond. There are several methods of calculating electronegativity, and some of those methods do give values for the Noble gases. However, these numbers are not generally meaningful since the noble gases do not have a measurable electron affinity. Several of the noble gases can form bonds under special curcumstances.
What is the hardness of the noble gases?
it has no hardness ohk... then what exactly do you call solid oxygen?
Can a noble gas be malleable or ductile?
Noble gases exist at mind-bogglingly low temperatures. To prove something's malleable, you have to hammer it or something. If you could obtain a solid noble gas, one whack of a hammer would be enough to literally vaporize all hopes of proving it was malleable. How many licks does it take? The world may never know.
What is the family name of neon?
The Noble gases, these are unreactive elements which exist as single atoms due to them having a full outer shell of electrons.
