Solution

Noble gases (inert gases) have completely filled valence shell. They are placed in zero group (group 18) of the periodic table.
Zero group is in between group 17 ( containing most electronegative halogens having one electron less than noble gas electronic configuration) and
group 1 ( containing most electropositive alkali metals having one electron more than noble gas electronic configuration).
Noble gases are neither electronegative nor electropositive.
