All of the Noble gases have complete valence shells. I know I am not telling you anything new.
Explanation:
Given a full valence shell, Noble gases, are (i) hard to oxidize, and (ii) hard to reduce. The Noble gases should therefore have a quite limited chemistry, as indeed they do. Nevertheless, even for
