it gets lees reactive
As you go down the group of noble gases, the boiling points generally increase. This is due to the increase in molecular weight and London dispersion forces between the heavier atoms. Helium has the lowest boiling point, while radon has the highest boiling point among the noble gases.
The boiling points of noble gases increase as you go down the group. This is because the increase in atomic size and London dispersion forces between atoms result in stronger intermolecular forces, requiring higher temperatures to overcome.
The atomic mass increases as you go down the group of Noble Gases.For example, helium is the first on down the group of Noble Gases. If you have a balloon full of helium, it would rise as it's atomic mass is the lightest of 4.002602 amu. Then, the furthest down the group of noble gases is radon. If you have a balloon full of radon, it would sink down immediately as it's atomic mass is 222.0 amu.
As you go down Group 0 (also known as the noble gases), both metals and nonmetals tend to become less reactive. The noble gases are already very stable and unreactive, and this reactivity decreases even further as you move down the group. Metals in Group 0, called alkali metals, also become more reactive as you go down the group, while nonmetals in Group 0, known as halogens, become less reactive.
The noble gases are located in Group 18 of the periodic table (also known as Group 8 or Group 0). Their position reveals that they have a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable and less likely to react with other elements. This stability is why noble gases are often referred to as inert gases.

Down the group the density generally increases. Thus radon will be the heaviest element.
It increases from left to right across groups, except for group 18 (Noble gases). It also increases as you go down the rows (increasing period).
As we move down the group (group 18 of periodic table) of noble gases from Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), and Radon (Rn) the individual atoms become heavier and so gases at the same pressure and temperature will become more dense.
The boiling points of noble gases increase as you go down the group from helium to krypton. This is because the boiling point is influenced by the strength of the London dispersion forces among the atoms, which increases with molecular size. As the atomic size and mass increase down the group, the London dispersion forces also increase, resulting in higher boiling points.
Non-reactive elements or compounds are called inert. This is a bit misleading, however - anything can be made to react given the right circumstances. The noble gases are about as close as you can get to truly inert, but even they will react under extreme conditions. >>M.T.<<
