Inert literally means "NONREACTIVE"!
Helium has reached the least stable configuration.
That is,It has finished its duplet!(That is,Helium has 2 electron in the valence shell or the last shell)
Those elements who have finished their octects or duplets cannot take part in any reaction as they are highly nonreactive.

hi mate,
==>> because Helium's shell that is full with only two electrons.
==>>The fact that their outer shells are full means they are quite happy and don't need to react with other elements.
==>> In fact, they rarely combine with other elements. That non-reactivity is why they are called inert.
i hope it helps you.
