The noble gases are the chemical elements in group 18 (old-style Group 0) of the periodic table. This chemical series contains helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.

Etymology


The noble gases were previously referred to as inert gases, but this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions. Another older term was rare gases, although in fact argon forms a considerable part (0.93% by volume, 1.29% by mass) of the Earth's atmosphere.

RT @andipantz: Helium walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender says "We don't serve noble gases here." Helium doesn't react.
