It is the inert gases or noble gases that are the elements that do not react with others in nature. These are the Group 18 elements. The valence band of each of these elements is completely full, and that gives rise to their inert characteristic. The inert gases, including helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon, don't want to form chemical bonds with other atoms because they are "happy" with their electron arrangements. We know in chemistry that electron shell configurations are the key to chemical behavior. Atoms loan, borrow or share electrons based on the number of electrons in their valence shell compared to how many the shell can hold. This is the key to understanding chemical bonding. The inert or noble gases have full outer shells, and they hang out along for that reason.

Which region of the periodic table is least likely to react with other elements?

Group-18 elements least react with other elements. They are inert in nature. They are called noble gases.Elements in group 18 are less likely to react with any other elements. This group is made out of the noble gases. Its members are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn.
