The noble gases are essentially non-reactive. This is because

their valence electron shells are all full. (C). They have no

interest in finding more electrons, or in sharing what they have.

Dale Murillo · Answer 2

C. Their valence electrons shells are full. All noble gasses have their outer most Orbitals filled with eight electrons, filling the octet rule. This makes the element more stable.
