How is electronegativity related to the metallic character of elements?
AInversely related
BEqual in value
CDirectly related
DUnrelated to it
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Inversely related
High electronegativity means a strong pull on electrons, a non-metal trait, so it varies opposite to metallic character.
