The answer is: A molecule with a difference in electrical charge between two ends.

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 fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and oxygen χ = 3,5, fluorine attracts electron and he has negative charge and oxygen has positive charge.

DNA A and B are probably the most closely related because cells get DNA from the parent cells therefor similar DNA comes from relatives.

The properties of two elements are listed below. Element Atomic radius (pm) Ionic radius (pm) First ionization energy (kJ/mol) E

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

K will give up an electron more easily than Br.

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an element is a property that combines the ability of its atom to lose and gain electrons.

The lower the electronegativity value, the more electropositive an element is and the more readily it loses electrons.

From the data given, we see that Br has an E.N value of 3.0 and K has an E.N value of 0.82.

Therefore, Br is highly electronegative and it is able to attract electrons to itself whereas K has a low E.N value. K will give up electrons more readily.

Lookinf at other information in the table, the larger atomic radius and lower ionizaton energy of K are all pointers to how readily it would be able to lose electrons.

We can conclude that K is even a metal.
