Question

Which would least strongly attract electrons from other atoms in a compound? elements of group 1 elements of group 2 elements of group 15 elements of group 17

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The elements with the lowest electronegativities would be the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. Group 1 elements are metals, so their properties make them give up one, to have a stable valence electron shell. Also, electronegativity increases as you move from left to right on the table, so group one would have the least electronegativity.

Answer 2

The elements of group 1 are the ones which would least strongly attract electrons from other atoms in a compound.

Answer: A

Explanation

The property of atoms which can least attract electrons from other atoms can also be termed as the ability of the those atoms to donate their electrons to the atoms which can attract electrons.

These kind of atoms which can give their electrons to reach a stable electronic configuration is termed as electropositive atoms.

Mostly the alkali metals which are the elements in group 1 has this ability of giving their electrons readily and to not at all attract other atom's electrons.

So the elements in group 1 category have less tendency for electrons attraction.
