An inert atom is the element which have** fully-filled outer shells** of electrons. These include the elements of group 18 . These are the most stable elements.
What are inert elements?
Inert elements have a fully-filled outer valence shell . An inert atom is not able to acquire or lose an electron, and therefore does not able to participate in any chemical reactions . For these atoms, a lot of energy is involved to combine with other elements to form compounds.
A substance which is inert , is thermodynamically very stable (positive standard Gibbs free energy of formation). These elements require very high energy to undergo chemical reaction .
**Group 18 **elements such as helium, neon, and argon are example of inert atoms . A full valence shell is the most stable electron configuration.

The elements with full outer shells of electrons are primarily the noble gases from Group 18 of the periodic table, such as Helium, Neon, and Argon. These gases are very stable and do not readily react with other elements. Their filled outer electron shells contribute to their inert nature.
