Electronegativity
The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.
It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.
Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.
The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.
The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.
Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

The most suitable answer is C becuase they would gain two elctrons to atain that stable OCTET thus becoming a anion with a charge of -2 and by virtue oxidation states of -2. There is however an exception with oxygen in two cases. But I still remain that the best answer would be C
Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it is inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive environment, which is why a noble gas is used.
Specific heat capacity is the required amount of heat per unit of mass in order to raise teh temperature by one degree Celsius. It can be calculated from this equation: H = mCΔT where the H is heat required, m is mass of the substance, ΔT is the change in temperature, and C is the specific heat capacity.
H = m<span>CΔT
