Electronegativity
The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.
It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.
Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.
The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.
The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.
Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

Best Answer
C) is the best description, although a scientific theory is not necessarily a "fact". They are, however, based on evidence.
A) is complete garbage.
B) is a good description of a scientific "law"- something that predicts how a certain event will occur without explaining why this is (for instance, the law of gravity accurately describes the gravitational forces between two bodies, but does not explain why these forces are there).
D) is a scientific "hypothesis"- an explanation for an observed phenomena that is yet to be proven.
Answer:
b. the layer of oxide formed on statues made of metal
Explanation:
Chemical weathering is a process whereby rocks are disintegrated or weathered causing a chemical reaction thereby leading to change in the parent rock constituents .
In chemical weathering a new substance is usually formed after the weathering takes place.
From the question the layer of statue made by metal will likely form oxides of those metals. Example Silver will react with oxygen to form an entirely new substance like silver(i)oxide.
