Question

exam 2: periodicity & electron configuration/em spectrum
a measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons is called
electron configuration
ionization potential
electronegativity
atomic radius

Explanation:

Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom. Ionization potential is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Atomic radius is the measure of the size of an atom. Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons.

Answer:

C. electronegativity
