Chemically, a neutral gas is one that is stable (meaning it has 8 valence electrons in its outer level already and does not need to react to achieve these 8 electrons). These gases are also called Noble gases. Helium is considered a neutral gas because it only has one energy level and can only hold 2 electrons (Remember that the goal of elements is to achieve stability, which is why they react. An element is stable when it has 8 electrons in the outer level).
