Question

The elements with the lowest electronegativity are located here on the periodic table:
Group 1
Group 2
Group 17
The metals

Answer 1

Shortest answer.

Answer 2

The elements with the lowest electronegativity are primarily found in **Group 1** of the periodic table, which consists of the alkali metals (such as lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.). These elements have low electronegativity because they readily lose their outermost electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration.

In addition, **Group 2** (the alkaline earth metals) also has low electronegativity values, but generally not as low as those in Group 1.

**Group 17** contains the halogens, which have high electronegativities because they are very eager to gain electrons to complete their outermost shell.

When referring to "the metals" in general, it is true that many metals have relatively low electronegativities compared to nonmetals, but the absolute lowest values are specifically found in Group 1.

Answer 3

Group 1.
