1. Electronegativity is the… a. amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an atom. b. tendency of an atom to lose an electron to another atom. c. ability of an atom to attract an electron from another atom toward itself. d. amount of energy required by an atom to attract an electron from another atom.

C.

ability of an atom to attract an electron from another atom toward itself.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the chemical property that describes the ability of an atom to attract electron to itself. It is responsible for bond formation between atoms.

c. Ability of an atom to attract an electron from another atom towards itself

Explanation:

Electronegativity is one of the important characteristics of elements which is a measure of the ability of the element to attract the shared pair of electrons in a bond towards itself. In simple words, suppose two elements A and B are bonded to each other by sharing their electrons. If the shared electrons in the bond are lying more near to the A then element A is said to be more electronegative than that of B and the ability with which the element A is attracting the electrons towards itself is called Electronegativity.
