The statement that best explains why the elements in Group 18 (the noble gases) do not have electronegativity values is:
**The elements have filled valence levels.**
Noble gases have complete outer electron shells, which makes them stable and generally unreactive, resulting in no defined electronegativity.
**The elements have filled valence levels.**
Noble gases have complete outer electron shells, which makes them stable and generally unreactive, resulting in no defined electronegativity.
