Answer:

The central atom is also usually the least electronegative.

Explanation:

The central atom is usually the least electronegative element in the molecule or ion; hydrogen and the halogens are usually terminal.

The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share its electrons.

Answer:

The central atom in a lewis structure tends to be the least electronegative atom.

Explanation:

Lewis structures show each atom and its position in the structure of the molecule using its chemical symbol.

In Lewis structure, the central atom tends to be the least electronegative atom. Usually the central atom will be the one that has the most unpaired valence electrons or  least electronegative.

Therefore, the best phrase that completes the sentence is "least electronegative".

Explanation:

The Jovian planets is different from terrestrial planets in so many ways. The Jovian planets includes Jupiter , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

The major similarities shared by all of these 4 planets includes

i. Magnetic fields: Each of this Jovian planets have a strong magnetic field and are generated by electric currents in its rapidly sniping interior. The magnetosphere which is the region at which the planet magnetic field dominates is far more stronger in Jupiter than other Jovian planets . Although the magnetic field of Saturn , Neptune and Uranus works in similar way to Jupiter  but are less stronger.

ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud. The  uppermost clouds of Jupiter and Saturn has more of ammonia crystals .The upper cloud of Neptune is composed of methane, The cloud of  Uranus is deep.  

iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours. The rotation period of Jupiter is the shortest among the Jovian planets which is around 9 hours 55 minutes. The rotation period of Neptune and Uranus take longer time than the other 2 Jovian planets( a little above 17 hours).
