2. Which of the following elements has the lowest electronegativity? A) Li B) N C) O D) F E) C
Li a EN decreses in period due to ssmall size
what does electronegativity mean
tendency to attract an electron
AS u know smaller ize proton num. i lesss as compare to electron and it become more electronegative and in period atomic no. increaes and ize decreases
D) F because Florine is in the VII group (17 group in IUPAC system) just previous of the Inert gas group .we know every atom has tendency to form the most stable electron system like its nearest inert gas. so halogen elements(F, Cl,Br,I,At) has the most electronegativity of individual group & of them Florine has the most electronegativity of Halogens as wel most of all elements
but hardy here the ques. is which is less ElectroNegative element
u r right .extremely sorry. it must be lithium. I have a bad practice to overlook questions Which class do you read in?
