Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is how good an atom is at attracting electrons.

Front

Which element has the highest electronegativity in the periodic table?

Back

Fluorine (F) has the highest electronegativity.

Front

What trend does electronegativity follow in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity increases across a period from left to right and decreases down a group.

Front

Which element has a higher electronegativity: Carbon (C) or Arsenic (As)?

Back

Carbon (C) has a higher electronegativity than Arsenic (As).

Front

What happens to the atomic radius as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

The atomic radius increases as you move down a group due to the addition of electron shells.

Front

Which element has a larger atomic radius: Strontium (Sr) or Zinc (Zn)?

Back

Strontium (Sr) has a larger atomic radius than Zinc (Zn).

Front

What is the relationship between electronegativity and the ability to hold onto electrons?

Back

Atoms with high electronegativity hold onto their electrons more tightly.

Front

Which of the following elements has a larger atomic radius: Gallium (Ga) or Aluminum (Al)?

Back

Aluminum (Al) has a larger atomic radius than Gallium (Ga).

Front

What is the trend in atomic radius across a period?

Back

The atomic radius decreases as you move from left to right across a period.

Front

What is the significance of the element's position in the periodic table regarding electronegativity?

Back

Elements on the right side of the periodic table tend to have higher electronegativity than those on the left.
