Noble gases are never found bonded because they have 8 valence electrons, making them stable. Since it is stable it has no available space in it valence energy level to bond with other atoms.

The above is true for Helium and Neon. Since 1962 compounds of the other noble gases have been prepared, most notably compounds of xenon with fluorine. All of these compounds are highly reactive and unstable.

What is the bonding activity of noble gases?

Noble gases used to be called "Inert". This is because they don't naturally react. About 40 years ago, scientists managed to force a noble gas to bond, for example some are used in explosives. However, naturally they have never been found bonded.
