Noble gases are very unreactive; but in special conditions they can react with some elements, for example fluorine. The chemistry of noble gases is known from about 50 years.
Noble gases does not easily combine with other elementsbecause they are stable and have complete outermost shell.
Noble Gasses.
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.
Noble gases have full outer electron shells, thus have no 'desire' to combine with anything, even its "brothers."Noble Gases are not diatomic.
uncomplete atoms attract each other sort of like a magnet. when they 'stick' together they are then called a molecule but there are atoms that do not form together because they are complete. they are called Noble Gases.
Noble gases have 8 valence electrons (except helium which has 2), have completely filled orbitals and hence stable electronic configuration. Hence they do not react with other element at S.T.P.

Noble Gasses.
Potassium can not combine with noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, as they are already stable and do not readily form compounds with other elements.

Noble gases have a minimum tendency to lose or gain electrons and thus engage in chemical reactions. Elements are more likely to combine when it leads to the outermost electron shell becoming full. For the noble gases the outermost electron shell has eight electrons, which is to say that it is already full (this is true for all except helium, which has 2 electrons in its only shell, but again this means the outermost shell is full). Therefore it is difficult for the atoms of a noble gas to combine with other atoms to form a compound. For this reason we say that the element is "inert" (as in does not react), and indeed the noble gases were known as the inert gases before it was discovered that it is possible for the heavier "inert gases" to form compounds.

All noble gases are monatomic and exist as individual atoms.
