Question

3 why is the electronegativity value of most noble gases equal to zero? a they dont attract electrons; they are already stable with a full valence shell. b they attract protons; this would make them stable with a full valence shell. c they attract electrons to fill up the valence shell.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Noble gases have a full valence shell of electrons, making them chemically stable. They do not have a tendency to attract electrons, which is the basis of electronegativity. So their electronegativity is zero.

Answer:

A. They don't attract electrons; they are already stable with a full valence shell.
