No, Noble gases have complete outermost shell so they don't attract the electrons and their electronegativities are almost zero.

Some of them do not form ordinary compounds and different theoretical methods have to be used to define their electronegativity.

Allred-Rochow scale lists the EN of noble gases as:

He=5.50, Ne=4.84, Ar=3.20, Kr=2.94, Xe=2.40 (F=4.10, H=2.20).

(In 2008, the covalent radii of elements are revised and hence, Allred-Rochow scale should be refined with new values!)

Mulliken-Jaffe scale lists their electronegativities as:

He=3.49, Ne=3.98, Ar=3.19, Kr=3.00, Xe=2.73, Rn=2.59 (F=3.91, H=2.25).

The Allen electronegativity scale (Spectroscopic electronegativity scale) lists the EN of noble gases as:

He=4.16, Ne=4.79, Ar=3.24, Kr=2.97, Xe=2.58 (F: 4.19, H: 2.30).

No they do not, but when electricity is arched through them, they grow bright, florescent colors.

noble gases do not conduct electricity because noble gas is not a metal and metals have energy.

Gases.


Can ammonia conduct electricity?

Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current.

How is neon used in lightning arrestors?

Neon and other noble gases require a high voltage to conduct electricity, so that normally current will not flow across them. However, a direct lightning strike (such as on a radio tower antenna) will cause the neon to arc and conduct the massive amount of electricity to the ground, protecting transmitters and other equipment.


Why does some gas conduct electricity?

Most gases conduct electricity when a very high voltage is applied to them. This occurs in nature as lightning.The gases are ionised ,or stripped of electrons, and then become a plasma whereupon they conduct an electric current and glow according to their chemistry. Neon has a signature red colour.
