complete the statement.

negative feelings about electricity.
a pair of bonding electrons.
a valence electron.
a core electron.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom in a chemical bond to attract a pair of bonding electrons. Valence electrons are involved in bonding, but electronegativity specifically refers to the attraction of bonding electron pairs. Core electrons are not involved in bonding in the context of electronegativity. The option about negative feelings is a distractor with no scientific basis.

Answer:

a pair of bonding electrons.
