Answer:

A. Florine has a stronger pull than Magnesium

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronegativity refers to the tendency in which an tom would attract electrons to itself.

Below each element in the periodic table is their electronegativity value. Florine has the highest electronegativity value of 4.0.

Going through options;

A. Florine has a stronger pull than Magnesium

Florine = 4.0

Magnesium = 1.2

This correct

B. Hydrogen has a stronger pull than Phosphorus

Hydrogen = 2.1

Phosphorus = 2.1

This is wrong

C. Potassium has a stronger pull than Sodium

Potassium = 0.8

Sodium = 0.9

This is wrong

D. Iron has a stronger pull than Bromine
