Question

Which property determines an atom's ability to attract electrons shared in a chemical bond?

A
ionization energy
B.
atomic radius
C.
electronegativity
D.
ionic radius

Answer 1

electronegativity

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronegativity is the property of an atom which increases with its tendency to attract the electrons of a bond. If two bonded atoms have the same electronegativity values as each other, they share electrons equally in a covalent bond.
