Neon is unreactive because its valence shell is completely filled with eight electrons. Atoms undergo chemical reactions and form compounds in order to fill their outermost (valence) energy shell with eight electrons (two for helium, lithium, and beryllium). Having a filled valence shell makes an atom stable.
