They have 8 electrons on the outermost shell, also known as valence.
The innermost shell contains a maximum of 2 electrons, therefore like the other noble gases, it has a full outer shell. The other noble gases all have eight in their outer shells.
Noble gases do not like giving up electrons. There are 2 electrons in the outer shell of helium and 8 electrons in the outer shell of the other noble gases (group 18 of the periodic table), representing filled shells.
Yes they do, because, for example, neon has 2 electrons in its inner shell and 8 on its outer shell; these shells are both full. Helium, the lightest of the noble gases, has only 2 electrons, but that completes it only shell. All the other noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, which is a stable arrangement.
The electron configuration of noble gases is characterized by a complete outer shell of electrons, which makes them highly stable and unreactive. This full valence shell corresponds to the maximum number of electrons allowed in that shell, adhering to the octet rule for most noble gases. For example, helium has a complete outer shell with two electrons, while the other noble gases, such as neon, argon, and xenon, have eight electrons in their outer shells. This stability is the reason noble gases are found in nature in their monatomic form.
A Noble Gas does not need to have eight electrons to be classed as such - it simply must have a full outer shell. The first shell can only hold two electrons, which is what helium has, so helium is a Noble Gas. The second and third shells hold eight electrons, which is why other noble gases can be seen as having eight electrons. However no Noble Gases have eight electrons in total - just eight in the outer shell, as the shells fill from the inside out...
Noble gases are not active because of their outer shells. The outer shells of these gases are full of 8 valence electrons, which make them stable and inert.
Elements in the most stable group of the periodic table, also known as the noble gases, have full outer shells. This means they have 2 electrons in the case of helium, and 8 electrons for all other noble gases.

Noble gases have completely filled valence electrons. Helium has 2, other elements have 8

Helium, the lightest of the noble gases, has only 2 electrons, but that completes it only shell. All the other noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, which is a stable arrangement.
Argon is a noble gas. All noble gases have stable outer shells with 8 valence electrons (with the exception of He, which as 2).
Neon, plus the other noble gasses, but these other noble gases also have additional electrons in outer shells.

Xenon has 8 electrons in its outer shell. It belongs to Group 18 of the periodic table, known as the noble gases, which have full outer electron shells.
All the Noble/Inert gasses. However, Helium (He) has a complete outer shell of only TWO(2) electrons. The other noble gases all have a complete octet (outer) shall, of EIGHT(8) (Octet) electrons.
