Electronegativity is a measurement of the power of an atom to attract electrons. The Noble gases, like helium, neon, and argon all have full valence shells. This means they are very stable and have no need to bond.

There are several methods of calculating electronegativity, and some of those methods do give values for the Noble gases. However, these numbers are not generally meaningful since the noble gases do not have a measurable electron affinity. Several of the noble gases can form bonds under special curcumstances.

How do helium argon and neon differ?

Helium, argon, and neon are noble gases with different atomic numbers: helium (2), neon (10), and argon (18). They vary in terms of their densities, boiling points, and chemical reactivity. Neon has the lowest boiling point and argon has the highest atomic weight among the three.


Why other elements have no electronegativity?

All elements have a measurable electronegativity, but the values can vary widely. However, noble gases like helium, neon, and argon are often considered to have effectively zero electronegativity because they have full outer electron shells and do not typically form bonds with other elements. This stability means they do not attract electrons in a chemical reaction, leading to the perception that they lack electronegativity.
