To determine which element is most likely to react with chlorine (Cl), we can consider the electronegativity values of the given elements: oxygen (O), bromine (Br), lithium (Li), and krypton (Kr).
1. **Oxygen (O)**: Electronegativity is high; it tends to react with chlorine to form oxides or other compounds.
2. **Bromine (Br)**: Electronegativity is similar to chlorine; it is less likely to react with it as they are both halogens.
3. **Lithium (Li)**: Electronegativity is low compared to chlorine; lithium is a metal that readily reacts with nonmetals, including chlorine.
4. **Krypton (Kr)**: It is a noble gas, which means it is very unreactive under normal conditions.
Among the options, **lithium (Li)** is the element most likely to react with chlorine, as it is a metal that readily forms compounds with nonmetals.
Therefore, the correct answer is **Li**.
1. **Oxygen (O)**: Electronegativity is high; it tends to react with chlorine to form oxides or other compounds.
2. **Bromine (Br)**: Electronegativity is similar to chlorine; it is less likely to react with it as they are both halogens.
3. **Lithium (Li)**: Electronegativity is low compared to chlorine; lithium is a metal that readily reacts with nonmetals, including chlorine.
4. **Krypton (Kr)**: It is a noble gas, which means it is very unreactive under normal conditions.
Among the options, **lithium (Li)** is the element most likely to react with chlorine, as it is a metal that readily forms compounds with nonmetals.
Therefore, the correct answer is **Li**.
