12 noble gases
I like the idea but it violated that Quantum Rule that allows 2n^2 electrons per orbit.
When you assume we could discover an 8Th shell, the total number of electrons in that shell would be 2(8)^2 = 128 electrons.
Your scheme shows that orbit eight is holding only 18 electrons before a 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th shell opens.
And, if you had a point, the more than seven (7) Noble Gases could exist, the Electron Configuration Code which addresses each electron in an Atom whould apparently open a 7d sub-orbital before and eigth shell appeared.
