Answer:
b. electronegativity
Explanation:
The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons is best quantified by the _Electronegativity_.
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electron which is loosely held. Polar molecules often possess such properties. The Halogen group (group 17) is famous for such property because it has the highest electronegativity in periodic table.
Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.63
Explanation : Given,
The dissociation constant for HCN = 
First we have to calculate the moles of HCN and NaCN.

and,

The balanced chemical reaction is:

Initial moles 0.1116 0.0461 0.08978
At eqm. (0.1116-0.0461) 0 (0.08978+0.0461)
0.0655 0.1359
Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BSalt%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:


Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.63
