Explanation

The noble gases (Group 18 elements) are located in the far right column of the periodic table. This group includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and oganesson. They are called 'noble' because they have complete valence electron shells, making them largely unreactive. The far left column contains alkali metals (Group 1).
