Question

elements with high electronegativity are generally
A.good reductants
B. Hard solid
C. Good oxidants
D. Soft solid​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

c. good oxidants.

eg. fluorine(F)  -high electronegative element is having the greater tendency to accept electrons or easily reduced, therefore they are strong oxidizing agent .

Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION C: Good Oxidants.

• While forming a chemical relationship, an atom of a specific chemical element has a proclivity to attract shared electrons or electron density.
• The electronegativity of an atom is determined by both its atomic number and the distance between its charged nucleus and its valence electrons.
• The larger an atom's or substituent group's associated electronegativity, the more electrons it attracts.
• Electronegativity is a simple approach for quantifying bond energy as well as the sign and degree of a bond's chemical polarity, which characterizes a bond along a continuum from covalent to ionic bonding.
