Dominick Newton · Answer 1

correct option: D

Explanation:

electronegative: it is define as the tendency of attraction of bond pair electron and it decreases top to bottom in peridic table and increasing from left to right and heighest electronegative atom in the periodic table is Fluorine and it value is 4.0

it also measures the how strongly atom can attract bond pair electron
