Question

The most electronegative element from the following element is:
Magnesium
Chlorine
Aluminum
Sulphur

Answer 1

Answer:

magnesium

Explanation:

its electro negitivity charge is 1.31

as it is in second position as Flourine is first 3.89

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is chlorine. It is the most electronegative element with an electronegativity of 3.16 out of the options.

Explanation:

What is electronegativity:

• Electronegativity is a metric that compares an atom's attraction to bonding electrons in molecules to that of other atoms.
• The electronegativity values developed by American chemist Linus Pauling are dimensionless numbers that range from little less than one for alkali metals to a maximum of four for fluorine.
• In comparison to lower electronegativity values, large electronegativity values suggest a larger attraction for electrons.

Electronegativity of :

1. Magnesium - 1.31
2. Chlorine - 3.16
3. Aluminum - 1.61
4. Sulphur - 2.58

Therefore, Chlorine is the most electronegative element.
