Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity?
Correct Answer: Fluorine
  • Step 1: Understand what electronegativity means. It is a measure of how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a chemical bond.
  • Step 2: Know that different elements have different electronegativity values.
  • Step 3: Familiarize yourself with the Pauling scale, which is a common scale used to measure electronegativity.
  • Step 4: Identify the elements you are comparing. In this case, we are looking for the element with the highest electronegativity.
  • Step 5: Look up the electronegativity values of the elements you are considering.
  • Step 6: Compare the values to find out which one is the highest.
  • Step 7: Conclude that fluorine has the highest electronegativity value of 4.0 on the Pauling scale.
