The element which would have the lowest electronegativity is: an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius.

Atomic radii can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

Generally, atoms with relatively large atomic radii tend to have a low electronegativity, ionization energy and a low electron affinity.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Thus, number of valence electrons is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements such as electronegativity.  

Electronegativity can be defined as the ability or tendency of the atom of an chemical element to attract any shared pair of electrons.

In conclusion, a chemical element that has small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius would have the lowest electronegativity.

Read the passage "Ants" in the box below.
Alona [7]

Answer:

C) Carla participated in an artistic activity, while Maurice participated in a scientific activity.

Explanation:

Scientific activities involve making observations, which ultimately leads to the series of steps that aims at solving the observed problem or answering a question that arises from the problem. This is the case of Maurice who is observing and recording information about ants in order to solve a curiosity (about what they feed on).

However, on the other hand, Carla is given a pictorial representation of the ants and what they carry. It is not based on curiosity or to answer a question about the ants but rather for decoration or aesthetic purposes, which is what makes her activity artistic.

What minerals and ores (in a mine) are pure substances mixtures and solutions?
klio [65]
Normally in a mine the ore thats extracteed is unpure and contains many impurities and so are usually compounds and so must be then processed to form pure elements 
some elements can be  extracted from a solution of its ions such as magnesium 
hope that helps
