Question

what kind of element has the greatest tendecy to attract electrons? why?
which one:
lithium, fluorine,sulfur, calcium, nitrogen, aluminum

Answer 1

the ones with the most electronegativity has the greatest tendency to attract electrons,electronegativity is the measure of tendency of the atom to attract a bonding pair of electron. fluorine has the most electonegative characters hence it will attract electrons  

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer of this question is fluorine.

Explanation:

The tendency of attracting electrons is known as the electronegativity.

The amount of electronegativity increases if we go from left to right in a row of the periodic table.

And the fluorine is situated in the extreme right of the first row of the modern periodic table.

That's why fluorine has the greatest amount of electronegativity among the elements mentioned in the question.
