Which elements has least value for electro-negativity Lithium or Krypton?

Lithium has a lower electronegativity than krypton. The electronegativity for lithium is 0.98; the electronegativity for krypton is 3.0. Note that most noble gases in group 18 have no electronegativity at all since the do not make compounds. However, since krypton and xenon do make compounds under some circumstances, they do have a measurable electronegativity.

Fluorine has a higher electronegativity than Lithium What does this actually mean?

electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, therefore fluorine is more able to attract electrons then lithium (has a greater pull).


What is the formulas of lithium hydride what is the answer for the formula of lithium hydride?

LiH. Lithium forms monovalent cations, and in the presence of a very low electronegativity metal such as lithium, hydrogen forms monovalent anions.
