Can someone help me?

Answer:
<u>an element with a large number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius</u>
Explanation:
Electronegativity means a tedency when an atom attracts bonding electrons in a covalent bond situation.
» If an atom has many valency electrons [ <em>empty</em><em> </em><em>orbitals</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>m</em><em>o</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em>l</em><em>l</em><em> </em>], it has difficulty in attracting electrons hence electronegativity low.
» If an atom is large, its nuclear attraction force of incoming electrons is low hence low electronegativity.
