Question

which property of an atom is related to its ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond? (1 point) ○ ionization energy ○ atomic radius ○ electronegativity ○ electron bonding

Explanation:

• Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom, not related to attracting electrons in a bond.
• Atomic radius refers to the size of an atom, not its electron - attracting ability in a bond.
• Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
• "Electron bonding" is not a standard term for this property; the correct term related to electron attraction in a bond is electronegativity.

Answer:

C. Electronegativity
