Question
which element would have the lowest electronegativity? (1 point)
o an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius
o an element with a large number of valence electrons and a small atomic radius
o an element with a small number of valence electrons and a small atomic radius
o an element with a large number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons. Elements with a small number of valence - electrons have less tendency to gain electrons, and elements with a large atomic radius have a weaker pull on electrons due to the increased distance between the nucleus and the out - most electrons.
