http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas The noble gasesare a group of chemical elements with very similar properties: under standard conditions, they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases, with a very low chemical reactivity. They are placed in group 18 (8A) of the Periodic Table (previously known as group 0). The six noble gases that occur naturally are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and the radioactive radon (Rn). So far, three atoms of the next member of the group, ununoctium (Uuo) have been synthesized in a supercollider, but very little is known of that element's properties because of the tiny amount produced and its short half-life. http://www.webelements.com/

Helium belongs in the noble gas family, which is group 18 (VIIIA or 0) on the periodic table. It is a noble gas because its valence shell is filled (with two electrons) and it is completely non-reactive.
