The Noble Gases have no electronegativities.
Explanation:
The reason for this is that electronegativity must be determined on the basis of the behaviour of the atom in terms of acquiring bonding electrons in a covalent bond with another atom. If the Noble Gases do not bond to other atoms, an electronegativity cannot be determined.
