Electronegativity of an element. Most electronegative element
Answers
Electronegativity:- It is the tendency of non - metals to gain electrons and form anions .
Electronegativity of an element decreases with group or increase when move along with period.
The most electronegative element is Fluorine.
It is world's most electronegative elements which itself is a good oxidising agent.
It is so powerful that it oxidises oxygen from water to form hydrogen fluoride.
The electronegativity is the property in which the elements attract the electrons towards it.
The electronegative elements can be given as :- F, O, N, Cl
where F is fluorine
O is oxygen
N is nitrogen
Cl is chlorine
The halogens groups are most electronegative group in periodic table.
Explanation:
electronegativity electronegativity is the relative electron attracting tendency of an atom for shared electron bear in a covalent bond with other atom it increase along a period from left to right and decrease on moving down the
