Question

1. an atom of which element has the strongest attraction for the electrons in a bond? a) lithium b) beryllium c) nitrogen d) fluorine

Explanation:

Electronegativity measures an atom's attraction for bonding electrons. Fluorine has the highest electronegativity among the given elements (lithium, beryllium, nitrogen, fluorine). Lithium and beryllium are metals with relatively low electronegativities. Nitrogen has an electronegativity of 3.04, while fluorine has an electronegativity of 3.98. So, fluorine atoms have the strongest attraction for electrons in a bond.

Answer:

D. fluorine
