I don't want to be rude. But I don't want to chat with this person in Gmail. Will he/she be notified or otherwise know if I say no to his/her chat request?

No, they will not receive any notification about your action. The user will continue to see you in their list with the "Invited" status.

2If the other person asks, I would politely give them an alternative way for them to contact you, that you prefer them to use instead of via Gchat. I use the same technique for "rejecting" people I don't really know on Facebook. Commented Apr 27, 2012 at 19:46
S/he sent you a chat invitation. Whether you press "No" or leave it alone, whether s/he gets a notification or not, either way s/he don't get to chat to you. So, the end result is same.
No, s/he wont get any notification.
P.S. - BTW, if that person doesn't get a notification, that's even more rude, that means you are ignoring him/her.

I respect your opinion, but I think it's my right to decide who can and cannot see my Gchat status. Let me know if you think there are any other ways I can respectfully say "no." Commented Apr 27, 2012 at 18:40
