Chapter 18, Problem 9RAT
How does an atum's electronegativity relate to its ability to become oxidized?
- (a) The greater the electronegativity of an atom, the greater its ability to become oxidized.
- (b) The lower the electronegativity of an atom, the lower its ability to become oxidized.
- (c) The greater the electronegativity of an atom, the lower its ability to become oxidized.
- (d) Electronegativity does not affect the atom's ability to become oxidized.
