Question
which element would have the lowest electronegativity? (1 point) an element with a large number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius an element with a large number of valence electrons and a small atomic radius an element with a small number of valence electrons and a small atomic radius an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius
Electronegativity is related to the ability of an atom to attract electrons. Elements with a small number of valence - electrons and a large atomic radius have a lower effective nuclear charge pulling on electrons, making it less likely to attract additional electrons, thus having lower electronegativity.
