Question

Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity?

• A. Fluorine (F)
• B. Oxygen (O)
• C. Nitrogen (N)
• D. Chlorine (Cl)

Hint:

Remember: Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Define Electronegativity Electronegativity quantifies an atom's capacity to draw shared electrons within a covalent bond. Fluorine holds the highest electronegativity on the periodic table.

Step 2: Element Electronegativity Values - Fluorine (F): 3.98. - Oxygen (O): 3.44. - Nitrogen (N): 3.04. - Chlorine (Cl): 3.16. 

Answer: The correct option is (1): Fluorine (F).
