Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.

The noble gases family (Group 18) are colorless, odorless, and tasteless gases. They are nonreactive due to their stable electron configuration, which makes them chemically inert. They have low boiling and melting points, and are found in small amounts in the Earth's atmosphere.

Some characteristics of noble gases are:

- the valence electron shell is completely filled

- the electronegativity is practically absent

- they are very unreactive and today only a limited number of compounds are known

- they exist in nature in a elemental form

- excepting argon they are rare and expensive gases

- the melting and the boiling points are very close

Which family does NOT have electronegativity values?

It is not true to say that any family does not have electronegativity values. It is tempting to say the inert gases, group 18, but we have a value for the electronegativity of xenon, 2.6 on the Pauling scale. Some of the other members of the group form compounds, though they are difficult or impossible to isolate, and their electronegativities have therefore not been measured. Whether they can thus be said to have electronegativity values or not is a moot point.

Which group of elements is very stable and nonreactive?

Noble gases are the group of elements that are very stable and nonreactive due to their full outer electron shells, which gives them little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds.
