which element would have the lowest electronegativity? (1 point)

Question

Responses:
an element with a large number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius
an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius
an element with a small number of valence electrons and a small atomic radius
an element with a large number of valence electrons and a small atomic radius

Answer 1

The element with the lowest electronegativity would be:

an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius.

This is because elements with fewer valence electrons tend to be less able to attract electrons (lower electronegativity), and larger atomic radii mean that the valence electrons are further from the nucleus, making it harder for the atom to attract additional electrons.
