Hi there
Inert gases are those whose valency is zero .
This means that their combining capacity with other elements is zero.
These gases have completed filled outer shells.
Hence , it does nor need to combine with other elements to share , give or take electrons.
Inert gases are also known as noble gases.
This is because they do not react with other elements .
These gases very rarely form compounds with the other elements.
Example :
Neon:-
Atomic no: = 10
no: of protons = 10
no: of electron = 10
electronic configuration = 2 , 8
Here , the valency of Neon is zero as it outer shell is completely filled.
Hence , it does not have the need to react with other elements to share , give or take electrons.
Hence , it is an inert or noble gas

An inert gas/noble gas is a gas which does not undergo chemical reactions under a set of given conditions. The noble gases often do not react with many substances[1], and were historically referred to as the inert gases. Inert gases are used generally to avoid unwanted chemical reactions degrading a sample. These undesirable chemical reactions are often oxidation and hydrolysis reactions with the oxygen and moisture in air. The term inert gas is context-dependent because several of the noble gases can be made to react under certain conditions.
Purified argon and nitrogen gases are most commonly used as inert gases due to their high natural abundance (78.2% N2, 1% Ar in air) and low relative cost.
Unlike noble gases, an inert gas is not necessarily elemental and is often a compound gas. Like the noble gases the tendency for non-reactivity is due to the valence, the outermost electron shell, being complete in all the inert gases.[2] This is a tendency, not a rule, as noble gases and other "inert" gases can react to form compounds.
