Their outer energy levels are completely filled with electrons.

A full valence shell (usually 8 electrons, 2 for helium) is a very stable electron configuration, so noble gases have little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons to form bonds. (Note: under extreme conditions some heavier noble gases—e.g. xenon—can form compounds, but they are the exceptions.)
