The answer is:

noble gases will not form compounds.

The explanation:

-The noble gas family, all of the elements in Group Zero.

-The list of noble gases include helium(He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn).

- these elements don't like to react, we don't use them because of they have 8 valence electrons already and don't like to lose or gain electrons so, they will not form compounds.
