Group 16 has the greatest attraction for electrons
in a chemical bond?
(1) oxygen (3) selenium
(2) sulfur (4) tellurium
Solution:
Electronegativity is a scale that measures the ttraction of an element for electrons in a chemical bond. All we need to do is find the electronegativity of each element. Whichever element has the highest electronegativity is the answer choice. In this case, choice 1 is the correct answer.
