Q. Noble gases do not react with other elements because

AIPMTAIPMT 1994

Solution:

In general, noble gases are not very reactive. Their chemical inertness is due to the fact that they have completely filled $ns^2np^6$ electronic configuration of their valence shells. The other reasons are very high ionisation enthalpy and almost zero electron affinity.
