Electronegativity is the property of the element to attract electrons to its nucleus. The trend of electronegativity in the periodic table is decreasing from right to left and decreasing from top to bottom. hence from the given elements, the element with the highest electronegativity should be A.beryllium

Answer: A. beryllium

Explanation: Electronegativity of an element is the tendency to attract the share pair of electron towards itself.

The electronegativity increases across a period as the size keeps decreasing, because the electrons get added to the same shell. the valence shell gets nearer to the nucleus and tendency to attract the shared pair of electron keeps increasing.

The electronegativity decreases as we move down a group as the size of the atom keeps increasing and the valence shell keeps moving away from the nucleus, so the incoming electron could not exert the nuclear charge effectively and hence the tendency to attract the shared pair of electron keeps decreasing.

Is usually categorized to a specific area in the state known as a soil series
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Soil series as established by the National Cooperative Soil Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service are a level of classification in the USDA Soil Taxonomy classification system hierarchy. The actual object of classification is the so-called soil individual, or pedon.[1] Soil series consist of pedons that are grouped together because of their similar pedogenesis, soil chemistry, and physical properties. More specifically, each series consists of pedons having soil horizons that are similar in soil color, soil texture, soil structure, soil pH, consistence, mineral and chemical composition, and arrangement in the soil profile.[2] These result in soils which perform similarly for land use purposes.
