Question

Which element, if combined with chlorine, will have the greatest attraction for the chlorine electrons? N P As

Answer 1

Basically, the answer for this would be N or NITROGEN. If we combine nitrogen with chlorine, what happens is that, it can attract more chlorine electrons towards itself. The reason is that, nitrogen is considered more electronegative compared to chlorine. So best answer for this is the first option. 

Answer 2

The answer is: N (nitrogen).

Nitrogen has greatest attraction, because it has greatest electronegativity.

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.  

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.  

For example, nitrogen has electronegativity 3 and phosphorus 2.2.
