MCQ
Electronegativity of inert gases is :
  • A
    low
  • B
    high
  • zero
  • D
    abnormally high

Answer

Correct option: C.
zero
Electronegativity of inert gases is zero as they have no tendency to attract the shared e$^-$.
Since the noble gases already have eight electrons in their outer shells, they don't want to attract any more.
Since electronegativity measures the amount of attraction between an atom and an electron, noble gases do not have electronegativity.
