Question

multiple - choice question what is electronegativity? the atoms ability to hold electrons tightly the energy required to remove an electron the size of the atom

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond, which is similar to its ability to hold electrons tightly. The energy required to remove an electron is ionization - energy, and the size of the atom is atomic - radius.

Answer:

the atom's ability to hold electrons tightly
