They are unreactive becuase noble gases have 8 valence electrons..therefore they are stable. An atom can only contain 8 valence electrons

Noble gases are almost completely unreactive because they have a complete number of electrons on their valence electron level. So noble gases HAVE NO charge, thus they are not included on the electronegativity trend.
