Electrons are knocked off one of the atoms, and usually molecular bonds are lost as shared electrons drop in to fill the lower-shell vacancy. Eventually an electron is returned to return the loose ion to a neutral state. Eventually the molecule fragments form new bonds, either different than before (oxygen to ozone), or the same as before.

What happens when two noble gases are combined?

When two noble gases are combined, they tend to form a stable non-reactive mixture due to their full outer electron shells, which makes them very unlikely to react with other elements. This makes noble gas compounds very rare under normal conditions.

Is fire an example for plasma state matter?

It CAN be. Fire is a mixture of various hot gases, but if the flame is hot enough those gases will become ionized. When this happens, it changes state and becomes a plasma.

Can noble gases have either a positive or a negative charge?

None of them have a negative charge. Or a positive charge. They can be ionized by high voltages, as (for example) neon is in a neon sign. However, neon doesn't have a monopoly on that, all of them exhibit the same behavior.
