Answer: Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Answer:
1. (S,O) < (Se,S) < (C,H) = (H,I) = (H,F) < (Si,Cl) < (K,Br)
Explanation:
The covalent character always increases down the group, this is because ionic character decreases down the group and also electronegativity.
In the same way, Covalent character always decreases across a period because electronegativity increases across a period.
The higher the electronegativity values between the two atoms, the more ionic it will be.

Answer:
D.
Explanation:
It would not be gain because it would say +6 instead of -2. Having a -2 charge means it wants to loose 2 electrons so it can form a full shell of 8 electrons. It wants to be inert (stable).
