Based on periodic trends of electronegativity, what statement regarding the halogens is most accurate?

a) flourine has the lowest electronegativity.

eliminate

b) iodine has the strongest tendency to attract electrons.

c) fluorine has the strongest tendency to attract electrons.

d) because of it's low electronegativity, iodine does not readily form compounds.

C) Fluorine has the strongest tendency to attract electrons.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of the atom in a covalent bond to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Down the group, size increases which means that the nucleus become far from the valence electrons and thus decreased electronegativity as there will be less tendency to attract the shared electrons.

Fluorine and iodine are in the same group and thus fluorine has higher tendency to attract electrons and thus has the highest electronegativity.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.

explanation:

indicate valleys, hills, steepness and gentleness of slopes.

explanation:

contour lines on a map indicate elevation, or depth. numeric notations on contour lines refer to the level of elevation, or height about sea level.
