Their outer energy levels are completely filled with electrons.

A full valence shell makes atoms electronically stable, so they have little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons and therefore are largely unreactive. (Under extreme conditions some heavier noble gases can form compounds, e.g. XeF2.)
