Why do you think the noble gases are placed in a separate group?

In Mendeleev’s Periodic Table, the elements have been arranged in different groups on the basis of valency. For example, the elements placed in group I (IA and IB) have valency equal to one. Same is the case with the elements placed in other groups. Since the noble gas elements He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn have zero valency, they could not find a place in Mendeleev’s Periodic Table. They have been placed in a separate group called zero group in the periodic table. Please note that the noble gas elements were not a part of the Mendeleev’s Periodic Table. They were added later on.
