Noble Gas Configurations
Metalloids can form cations by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Noble gases, on the other hand, typically do not form cations as they have a stable electron configuration due to having a full outer shell of electrons.
the nobel gases are already stable, with full octets of valence electrons
Noble gases
Noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable and non-reactive. Their electron configuration is already at its most stable state, so they do not easily form bonds with other elements. This is why noble gases are often called inert gases.
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, do not typically form compounds because they have a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons, making them very unlikely to gain or lose electrons to form bonds with other elements.
The noble gases already have their full set of valence electrons. They don't need to share or transfer any of their electrons with other molecules.

No. Noble gases exist in nature, and are chemical elements. These are the six noble gases: Helium (He) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) and the radioactive Radon (Rn)
Noble gases
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.
No. The noble gases are inreactive and don't form compounds with other elements. This is because they have a full outer shell of electrons.

Because they lack valance electrons
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
Helium has 2 valence electrons. All other noble gases have 8 valence electrons.
