Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity?
A. Selenium (Se)
B. Arsenic (As)
C. Bromine (Br)
D. Germanium (Ge)



Answer :

The element with the highest electronegativity among the options provided is Bromine (Br). 1. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond. 2. In the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period and from bottom to top in a group. 3. Bromine (Br) is located in the halogen group in the periodic table, which are known to have high electronegativities. Therefore, among the elements given, Bromine (Br) has the highest electronegativity.
