Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!

The reason is they are noble gases, and already has 8 electrons due to which they donot tend to react with other gases. Elements reacts for having stable electronic configuration but the elements like Neon and Argon has already 8 electrons so, they don't form ions.

Hope it helps...
