The collection of elements on the right side of the periodic table with electron sequetianlly filling the p orbitals of their valence shells are named noble gases.

The noble gases are in the group 18.


The last orbital of the noble gases are:


Gas last orbital

He 1s

Ne 2p6

Ar 3p6

Kr 4p6

Xe 5p6

Rn 6p6


As you see the p orbitals of the noble gases are complete. That is what confere them their great stability.
