Noble gases are sparingly soluble in water and the solubility increases from helium to xenon.

Solubility of noble gases in water is due to dipole-induced dipole attractions and as the atomic size increases, the formation of induced dipole becomes easier resulting in increased solubility.

Noble Gases have a very stable electron configuration, therefore, they have the highest amount of ionization energy within their periods. It decreases down a family because electrons farther from the nucleus are easier to remove.
