Solution
The noble gases are the chemical elements in group 18 of the periodic table.
They are the most stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outer shell can hold.
Therefore, they rarely react with other elements since they are already stable.
The noble gases were previously referred to as inert gases, but this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
Xenon and Radon can react with Fluorine to form the respective fluorides in relatively high temperatures and pressures.
