An atom with high electronegativity has

A

Large size

B

High ionisation potential

C

Low electron affinity

D

Low ionisation potential

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
With less electronegativity, there is also less ionization energy. This means for metals, it is easier to lose `e^(-)`.
When it is easier to lose `e^(-)`, the metal becomes more reactive due to attaining fully filled outer shell.
For non-metals, they are electronegative means gain `e^(-)`. As electronegativity increases, ionisation energy is also increases. Because non-metals want to hold on their `e^(-)` and gain more vigorously to achieve the fully filled outer shell.
