Question
which would least strongly attract electrons from other atoms in a compound?
o elements of group 1
o elements of group 2
o elements of group 15
o elements of group 17
Brief Explanations
Electronegativity measures an atom's ability to attract electrons in a compound. Generally, electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group. Group 1 elements have the lowest electronegativities among the groups listed as they have only one valence - electron and tend to lose it rather than gain electrons from other atoms.
