Question

reactivity quick check
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 small number of valence electrons and a small 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 large atomic radius

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons. A small number of valence - electrons means the atom has less tendency to gain electrons, and a large atomic radius means the out - most electrons are farther from the nucleus and the nucleus has less pull on electrons from other atoms. So an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius will have the lowest electronegativity.

Answer:

an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius
