No. halogens are not inert gases. Halogens are group 17 elements. Inert gases or noble gases are the group 18 elements
Helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn) are the six inert gases.

How many valence electrns in halogens?
The halogens, or inert gases, have full outer shells. Helium has 2 valence electrons in its outermost shell, and the other inert gases have eight. Wikipedia has a good entry on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_electron
How do the physical and chemical propertys of the halogens compare with those of the inert gases?
Halogens can be gaseous, liquid or solid; noble gases are only gases.Halogens are very chemical reactive elements; only some compounds of noble gases are known.
Which are more chemically reactive halogens or noble gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals and hence are generally chemically inert. Halogens are highly reactive as they need one more electron to complete octet.
How do psychical and chemical properties of halogens compare with those of the inert gas?
At room temperature the lighter halogens, F, Cl are diatomic gases, Br is a liquid, I is a solid. All of the halogens are colored and toxic. The noble gases are all colorless odorless non chemically toxic monoatomic gases. (Radon is radioactive).
The inert gases can also be called what?
Inert gases can also be called noble gases. An example is Helium.
How do the physical and chemical properties of the halogens comparew with those of the inert gases?
Halogens are very reactive both physically & chemically than that of inert gases ,as halogens have valency 1.
What are the similarities and differences between the halogen family and the inert gases?
halogens are reactive gases and noble gases are non reactive!=)

What are groups 17 and 18 on the periodic table called?
Group 17 elements (Gr. 17 are not metals.) are called halogens (halogen group).
Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?
An inert gas is one that won't react with other gases. You can store inert gases with any other gases - oxygen (an oxidizing gas) and argon (an inert gas) are commonly stored together in industrial settings.

The noble gases are inert This means they?
inert means they are not reactive gases. (:
