Which atom attracts shared bonding electrons most strongly?
A.F
B.Cs
C.O
D.Ne
Explanation
Core Concept
Electronegativity increases across a period and up a group, so fluorine, the most electron-hungry atom, holds the maximum value (4.0 on the Pauling scale). Its small radius and high Zₑff pull shared electrons hardest.
Correct Answer
