Answer : Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.
Explanation :
Noble gases are the chemical elements that are present in group 18 in the periodic table.
The elements are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.
They are chemically most stable except helium due to having the maximum number of 8 valence electrons can hold their outermost shell that means they have a complete octet.
They are rarely reacts with other elements to form compounds by gaining or losing electrons since they are already chemically stable.
Hence, the noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.

Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
