Question

What attractive force pulls electrons toward protons to form chemical bonds?

Answer 1

Answer:

C). Electronegativity.

Explanation:

'Electronegativity' is described as the tendency or a measure of the ability of an atom or molecule to attract electrons that leads to the formation of chemical bonds. It is denoted by 'χ', a Greek letter. The elements like Fluorine having a very high rate of electronegativity, its atom would attract the electrons more strongly while the elements with lesser electronegativity like Cesium would possess a lesser tendency to attract electrons towards it in order to form a bond. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
