Detailed explanation-1: -Noble gases have complete outermost shell so they don’t attract the electrons and their electronegativities are almost zero.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since electronegativity measures the amount of attraction between an atom and an electron, noble gases do not have electronegativity. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-3: -Noble gases are stable and have already reached full octet (full valence shell). Therefore, Neon gas, being a noble gas, is not included in electronegativity (or electron affinity and atomic radius for that matter).
Detailed explanation-4: -The noble gases are all considered to have zero electronegativity.
Detailed explanation-5: -The statement is true. Valency of Noble gases is zero because they have fully filled outermost shells. So they have no tendency to gain or lose electrons.
