The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases, elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. why don’t these gases tend to form chemical bonds?

Noble gases valence electrons (last orbital) are full. Making them very stable and not explosive.

Noble gases are odorless, colorless, nonflammable, and monotonic gases that have low chemical reactivity. The full valence electron shells of these atoms make noble gases extremely stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds because they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons.
