Noble Gases because the valence electron shell, or orbital, is complete. They are "happy" with their electrons and don't need to react with others to change.

Noble gasses. The already have 8 electrons in their outermost shell

supervishnu04 · Answer

The most unreactive group of elements is the noble gases (Group 18) due to their full valence electron shells, which give them stability. They do not participate in chemical reactions because they don't need to gain, lose, or share electrons. Examples of noble gases include helium, neon, and argon, which are often used in various applications due to their stability.
