Between halogen and noble gas, which one has a higher Ionization energy, electron negativity, and electron affinity?

group 7 has the highest electronegativity, F being the highest.
Noble gas has the highest ionization energy because it is super ultra stable and you can't take electron from her.
electron affinity...I usually don't pay attention to this but I believe group 7 has higher.
The faster way I think abot this trend is
size increases left, down
everything else(electronegativity, ionization energy, affinity) increass up, right.
It's not always true and there are better rules but this is just quick way for me to bring up the general idea.
If you got time, watch Chad's video and he explains it very well...the only downside is that he talks about all the exceptions that might be too much for DAT.

I would think that the halogens would have the highest electron affinity as they readily form ionic bonds and steal electrons.
Noble gases are chill and don't want to do anything.
