Group 18 elements are known as noble gases. They have completely filled outermost shells.
Generally, group 18 elements are chemically inert due to their stable configuration.
But Xenon is an element of group 18 that reacts with fluorine and oxygen to form their compounds.

For example, $X e F_{4}$ , $X e O_{3}$ etc. Krypton, under isolable conditions also form compounds.
