Element X belongs to Group 1. Which of the following best describes element X?
a. high electronegativity
b. high ionization energy
c. low electronegativity
d. a non-metallic element

Sagot :

If the element X belongs to Group 1. The statement which bests describes it is low electronegativity. Thus, the answer is letter C. low electronegativity.

Explanation:

Group 1, Family 1A or Alkali Metals are metals that has 1 valence electron. This Family is characterized by having a large atomic radius, low ionization energy, low electron affinity, and low electronegativity.

Group 1 A has low electronegativity which means they have low ability to attract electrons. This is due to the Group 1A having only 1 valence electron. Having only 1 valence electron is far from being a stable atom which requires an eight valence electron. Thus, instead of attracting an electron, their tendency is to give electrons which can gain them a positive charge.  

Elements of Group 1 A are H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr. Group 1 has low electronegativity due to the valence electron that they have which is far from having a stable valence electron.
