which of the following elements is most electronegative? A) Ununoctium (Uuo) B) Francium (Fr) C) Hydrogen (H) D) Helium (He)

BlazeNeedsHelp:

well first look for the number of electrons and protons

ZoeyBiocth16:

i know the answer just wanna make sure im right

BlazeNeedsHelp:

electrons are negative and neutrons are positive if you have more electrons than neutrons it will be negative

ZoeyBiocth16:

which one is it tho

BlazeNeedsHelp:

youll have to figure it out i gave you the material now its up to you to solve it

ZoeyBiocth16:

its D lmao all i said was i wanted to make sure i was right

CoolRekterizer:

Well, Ununoctium is unknown for its electronegative.

ZoeyBiocth16:

every question im posting i have the answer right in front of me just gotta make sure im not second guessing myself

CoolRekterizer:

And Hydrogen is bad at electronegative.

BlazeNeedsHelp:

lol i know i got in trouble for answering directly so

CoolRekterizer:

I'd say your correct.

CoolRekterizer:

wait... there isnt chlorine

ZoeyBiocth16:

no

CoolRekterizer:

the info he/she put in is useless then lmao

ZoeyBiocth16:

who that one dude

CoolRekterizer:

"corey777"

BlazeNeedsHelp:

exactly im happy im not the only one who caught that

ZoeyBiocth16:

jeez corey good job tho

BlazeNeedsHelp:

but good job corey

corey777:

lol sorry wrong answer for this

BlazeNeedsHelp:

its okay

CoolRekterizer:

I'm going to do some LaTex practicing.

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @ZoeyBiocth16 its D lmao all i said was i wanted to make sure i was right \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) It's not Helium because noble gases have their valencies full, so they are typically unable to form a compound. Noble gases other than Xe and Ar do not have electronegativities (it is 0) C - Hydrogen would be the best answer. Looking at the other options here is why: -Francium has a very large atomic radius, in fact, it has the largest atomic radius. This means that the Electronegativity of Fr would be the lowest. -Also, even though Uuo's electronegativity is unknown because it's manmade, it would still have a low electronegativity. This is because the atomic radius is larger, which lowers the electronic forces of attraction.
