Because the periodic table goes by atomic number, and they all happen to line up at the end of the table.

In more detail, the chemical properties and electron configurations of the elements determine the arrangement. The noble gasses all have a full valence shell, so they are placed at the end of the table to indicate.

Why do you think the noble gases were among the last of the naturally occurring elements to be dicovered?

Noble gases are chemically inert, they do not form compounds. They are found in trace amounts and hence difficult to be identified.


Why do you think the noble gases were among the last of the natural occurring elements to be discovered?

Noble gases exist in nature in very low concentration and are very unreactive. These prevented their discovery earlier.
