  • Options
  • A. Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to produce energy while losing an electron.
  • B. Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to attract electrons during bond formation.
  • C. Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to lose electrons during cation formation.
  • D. Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to share electrons during a covalent bond formation.

  • Correct Answer
  • Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to attract electrons during bond formation.
