Noble gases are inert gases because of a completely filled valence shell,hence they need not to satisfy their valency.
TRUE (apex)
Noble gasses are historically known as inert gasses - so true
TRUE (apex)
The grup 8 elemnts are quite unreactive- the term noble was I think coined for gold and other unreactive metals- and the adjective got re-used- they were once called the inert gases- but this is no longer true as unstable reactive compounds have been made for Argon and the heavier members of the group.
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. 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.

The Noble gases were known as inert gases because it was believed that they were completely unreactive. This is no longer true as scientists have discovered compounds containing noble gas elements.

Noble gases have a minimum tendency to lose or gain electrons and thus engage in chemical reactions. Elements are more likely to combine when it leads to the outermost electron shell becoming full. For the noble gases the outermost electron shell has eight electrons, which is to say that it is already full (this is true for all except helium, which has 2 electrons in its only shell, but again this means the outermost shell is full). Therefore it is difficult for the atoms of a noble gas to combine with other atoms to form a compound. For this reason we say that the element is "inert" (as in does not react), and indeed the noble gases were known as the inert gases before it was discovered that it is possible for the heavier "inert gases" to form compounds.

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. 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.
This statement is generally true. Chemically inert atoms, such as the noble gases, have a full outer electron shell, which makes them stable and less likely to react with other atoms to form compounds.
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 donot form compounds under normal conditions.
False. The gases on Titan are primarily molecular gases such as nitrogen and methane, which are not ionically bonded.
they are all completely filled in the case of noble gases
