Noble gases are elements that have all possible electron positions in the outer, or valence, shell filled. This makes them chemically non-reactive. They are found in group 18 on the periodic table (far right edge) of elements: Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), and Radon (Rn). The name ununoctium has been assigned to what would be the next element down i the column,

Note that the noble gases, were originally considered to be inert until the 1960s when some creative chemists managed to find a way to get them to form some molecules with a few other elements like fluorine. Of the noble gases Xenon seems to be easiest to get to form compounds
