Noble gases are sometimes referred to as "inert gases" because they have a full valence shell of electrons, making them generally unreactive and stable. This complete electron configuration means they rarely form chemical bonds with other elements under standard conditions. As a result, they are often found in their elemental form in nature, contributing to their label as "inert." However, it's worth noting that recent research has shown some noble gases can form compounds under specific conditions.
The noble gases in Column 18 are called helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
Inert gases. This was a common term for them until the first reaction between a noble gas and another material was discovered a few decades ago.

Noble Gases
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons) and have stable electronic configuration.

Group 17 elements are called halogens, which include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Group 18 elements are called noble gases, which include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
They're all Noble gases.
