The question can be changed into a new form:
Which element has the most negative electron affinity, or attraction for electrons? halogens have the highest electron affinities, and thus are more attracted to the electrons in the Hydrogen atom than any element in their respective periods.
In this case all the following choices are in the same period, thus Cl or Chlorine is the answer as it is a halogen.
Answer:
A chemical equation consists of the chemical formulas of the reactants (on the left) and the products (on the right). The two are separated by an arrow symbol (“→” usually read aloud as “yields”). ... The equation also identifies that all the compounds are in the gaseous state.
Explanation:
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
An atom is made up of energy levels that contain electrons which are negatively charged and the nucleus which contains neutrons and protons that are negatively charge .
Due the positive charge of the nucleus of an atom, an atom always want to attract its electrons and keep them near it however it weakly attracts the other electrons of a nearby atom.
The answer is B for the apex answer
