alleryThe property of attracting shared electrons by halogen atoms in a molecule is called:
AElectron affinity
BElectropositivity
CElectronegativity
DElectrochemistry
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Electronegativity
1. The tendency of an atom in a bond to attract the shared pair of electrons is electronegativity.
2. Halogens are highly electronegative.
3. Hence the answer is electronegativity.
