Question

electronegativity is calculated using which of the following methods? calculating the average energy required to remove an electron measuring the mass of an atom determining the number of protons in an atom measuring the atomic radius

Explanation:

Electronegativity is related to the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond. It is calculated based on the average energy required to remove an electron (ionization energy) and the energy change when an electron is added (electron - affinity). Measuring the mass of an atom, determining the number of protons, or measuring the atomic radius are not methods for calculating electronegativity.

Answer:

Calculating the average energy required to remove an electron
