Question

Which atom has the strongest attraction for valence electrons

a) Al
b) Si
c) P
d) S

Answer 1

Electronegativity

Is the tendency for a bonded atom to attract electrons. It increases going up and to the right of the periodic table.

To determine which of these elements are the most electronegative, we can just see which element is most to the right in the periodic table.

This would be sulfur.
