That they are not truly inert...
Explanation:
That there are SIX inert or Noble Gases, each of which has a full valence shell, the which restricts their reactivity. That they are all colourless, mono-atomic gases. Their inertness makes them very suitable as a protective blanket for say, incandescent light-bulbs, or for reactive mixtures in preparative chemistry (argon is extensively used in inorganic laboratories, and its density makes it often superior to dinitrogen). Anyway, there are many more true features of Noble Gases...
