Barium because this is have a greatest tendency.


Which element has an atom with greatest tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond?

Chlorine has the highest electron affinity or the greatest tendency to attract a shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond.


Which atom has the greatest tendency to gain electrons Al Rb F I?

Fluorine require only one electron to fill its outer shell. Hence it has the greatest tendency to gain electrons than Al, Rb and I.


How would the tendency to lose electron change as you go from left to right across a periodic table of period?

The tendency to lose electron decreases along a period. The tendency to gain electron increases.


Is radioactivity a curse?

Radioactive isotopes are just elements which have a tendency to undergo alpha, beta or gamma radiation to bring themselves to a stable electron configuration.

Which period has the greatest tendency to gain electrons?

The periods near the top, i presume because they have less shielding from other electrons in their orbitals, therefore there will be a larger nuclear pull so easier to attract electrons. Obviously a element with a full shell or 1 or 2 electrons in it isn't really going to gain electrons and Transition metals are weird. Hope this helps :)


Tendency of material to oppose electron flow?

What is the tendency for a material to oppose the electron flow and change electrical energy in to thermal energy and light?

Resistive tendency


What do bromine and chlorine have in common?

The atoms of both elements have seven valence electrons and a strong tendency to abstract, from a less electronegative atom, an electron to complete their valence shells and thereby become an anion.


Tendency of a material to oppose electron flow?

ohms law (resistance)


Why do elements for bonds?

Elements for bonds because they have a high tendency to be stable, this means that they have high tendency to attain the octet or doublet rule (only in the case of hydrogen).
