Barium (Ba) has the lowest electronegativity of the choices you have given.
The electronegativity of Calcium (Ca) is 1
The electronegativity of Strontium (Sr) is 0.95
The electronegativity of Magnseium (Mg) is 1.31 (has the highest)
The electronegativity of Barium (Ba) is 0.89
Of the list above, you can see that Barium has the lower level of electronegativity (0.89). Therefore, the correct answer is D.
Let me know if you need further info.

El teorema de Pitágoras se generaliza a espacios de dimensiones superiores. Algunas de las generalizaciones están lejos de ser obvias. El teorema de Pitágoras sirve como base de la fórmula de distancia euclidiana.
Espero que esto ayude, que tengan un día bendecido y maravilloso, ¡así como uno seguro! :-)

Energy is required to change the phase of a substance, such as the energy to break the bonds between molecules in a block of ice so it may melt.
During a phase change energy my be added or subtracted from a system, but the temperature will not change. The temperature will change only when the phase change has completed. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings. Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart so that the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature.
