Answer:

The noble gases with complete outermost shell electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Noble gases or inert gases do not react chemically with other elements because they have a complete configuration of their electronic shells. What drives chemical reaction is simply the exchange of electrons between two or more atoms. It can be a loss, a gain or simple sharing of electrons in order to achieve a complete configuration just like those of noble gases.
