Here, most electronegative element = Fluorine (4)
Least electronegative = Potassium (0.82)

In short, Fluorine(F) & Potassium (K) have greatest difference in electronegativity of about 3.18

Hope this helps!

The answer is: the greatest difference in electronegativity have K and F.

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 χ = 4 and potassium χ = 0.82, fluorine attracts electron and it has negative charge and sodium has positive charge.  

Δχ(K-F) = 4 - 0.82.

Δχ(K-F) = 3.18; electronegativity difference between potassium and fluorine.

When the electronegativity difference is greater, the bond polarity is increasing.

What begins to happen to radioactive uranium as soon as a mineral containing it crystallizes from magma?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>The radioactive uranium decays into its daughter product, lead. It would do this in magma as well, as nuclear decay depends on forces within the atom, not on the phase of the material in which the atom is a part.</span>
