Because the outer shell of valence electrons is full (8).

Yes, the valency of noble gas is zero as its valance shell is saturated with 8 electrons

Yes, but noble gases can be forced to share electron even though they are stable. e.g xenon and flurine(most reactive element)

Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inactive / inert and have no electronegativity.

Because the valence electron shell is filled and the chemical reactivity is extremely low (the gain or loss of electrons is improbable).

What are the oxidation states of group 18 elements?

0, neither positive or negative. They are the noble gases, and as such, very unreactive

Group 18 or noble gases


What is the comen name of group 18?

Noble gases.


Noble gases usually exist as what?

Noble gases exist in the nature as gases; only a small number of (all man made) compounds of noble gases are known.


What is the oxidation number for argon?

The oxidation number for argon is 0. All of the noble gases are inert.


Why do chemists use a periodic table?

Because all of the elements are displayed; also they are divided into groups (alkali, alkaline earth, transition metals, metalloids, non metals, halogens, noble gases, lathanides and actinides) based on their reactivity, common oxidation states and properties. This helps chemists to think of chemical compounds and their composition (e.g alkali metals usually have +1 oxidation states, alkaline earth +2 and transition +2,+3, but are not limited to these oxidation states).


Which group of atoms do not usually form compounds?

The noble gases.


What elements have no valency?

The noble gases, or group 18 elements, have oxidation states of zero. However, their chemistries are not as barren as one might expect. Please see the link for the periodic table and individual articles for these elements.
