Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions.

Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.


What type of bond do noble gases form with metals?

Noble gases typically do not form bonds with metals because they are already stable and do not easily react with other elements.


Why neon and helium are called noble gases?

Neon and helium are called noble gases because they are very stable and do not easily react with other elements to form compounds. This stability is similar to the behavior of noble or "noble-minded" individuals who are not easily influenced by others.


Why noble gases don't bond well with other elements whereas all other elements easily form compounds?

Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inert (they generally do not form bonds).
