Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

Why noble gases are highly reactive?

Noble gases are not reactive. They are inert. That's why they are called noble gases. Just as the human nobility does not lower itself to associate with the lower classes, so do noble gases not combine with lesser elements. They remain aloof.

Is noble gases metals that are more reactive than the transition elements but less reactive than the alkali metals?

No, noble gases are not metals; they are a group of non-metal elements. Noble gases are the least reactive elements because they have a full valence shell of electrons, which makes them stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Alkali metals are the most reactive metals, while transition elements have varying reactivity levels depending on the element.

What is a false statement about noble gases?

Noble gases are elements noted for extremely low electronegativity because of an outer valence that is complete. Therefore a false statement about Noble Gases would be that "Noble Gases have high electronegativity" or "Noble Gases are notorious for being extremely reactive elements."
