Question

question 2 of 10 which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity? a. nitrogen (n) b. calcium (ca) c. rubidium (rb) d. silicon (si)

Explanation:

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group on the periodic table. Nitrogen is a non - metal in the upper right of the periodic table compared to the others which are metals or metalloids. Calcium, Rubidium are metals and have lower electronegativities. Silicon is a metalloid with lower electronegativity than nitrogen.

Answer:

A. Nitrogen (N)
