metals generally have electronegativities in comparison to nonmetals.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. Metals tend to lose electrons (form cations) in chemical reactions. Non - metals, on the other hand, tend to gain electrons (form anions). A lower electronegativity value means that the atom has less of a tendency to attract electrons. Since metals give up electrons more easily than non - metals, they have lower electronegativities compared to non - metals.

Answer:

lower
