The group 18 element on the periodic table are share characteristic of been all non reactive

Example of group 18 element are Helium, Neon , Argon among others. This group 18 element are stable in their outermost energy level ( they lack valence electrons.) hence they are no reactive. Example Neon has 8 electron in their outermost energy level hence they are stable.
