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.

How does reducing the temperature of chemical reaction affect the rate at which it occurs?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

When you lower the temperature, the molecules are slower and collide less. That temperature drop lowers the rate of the reaction. When you increase the pressure, the molecules have less space in which they can move. That greater density of molecules increases the number of collisions.

Consider the following element combinations. Classify the bonds formed between each pair as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar c
Sati [7]

An ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. It is usually formed between a metal + non-metal.

A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms. It is formed between two nonmetals. A polar covalent bond is formed between 2 non-metals which differ in their electronegativities. In contrast, in a non-polar covalent interaction the two atoms could either be the same or have very close electronegativities.

1) P and I : Both non-metals with different electronegativities= Polar Covalent

2) Fe and O: Metal + non-metal = Ionic

3) S and Cl: Both non-metals with different electronegativities= Polar Covalent

4) S and S: Both non-metals and the same atoms = Non-polar Covalent

5) Br and Br: Both non-metals and the same atoms = Non-polar Covalent

6) O and Cl: Both non-metals with different electronegativities= Polar Covalent

7) Be and Cl: Metal + non-metal = Ionic

8) Al and N: Metal + non-metal = Ionic

The rate constant for the first-order decomposition of n2o is 3.40 s-1. what is the half-life of the decomposition?
andrew-mc [135]
<span> We are given with the rate constant of a first-order decomposition of n2o which is equal to 3.40 s-1. Half life of the radioactive material can be determined through the formula: t= ln2 /k where t is the half life of the material. t then upon substitution is equal to 0.2048 s. </span>
