noble gases - Electronegativity in krypton and xenon?


Why do krypton and xenon have high electronegativity? Noble gases are supposed to be "happy" with the amount of electrons they have, because they have 8 valence electrons (thus, most noble gases have no electronegativity). So why do krypton and xenon have electronegativity? Why do they tend to "want" one more electron? It makes no sense... their outer shells are already full!


I'm going to do a research paper on this question, so I would really like some good resources that could help me answer this question for myself. Know any?
