The term noble is old and today inadequate.

The so-called noble gases have the outer electron shell full, with 8 electrons; this structure lead to a very low chemical reactivity but now they are not all considered as inert elements.

Compounds have been made with Krypton, Xenon and Radon. None have yet been made for Argon, Neon or Helium.
