Which term represents the strength of the attraction an atom has for the electrons in a chemical bond?

A. electrical conductivity

B. electronegativity

C. first ionization energy

D. specific heat capacity

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

First Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom. With increase in atomic size of the atom, there will be less force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons of the atom.

Its also tells us about the how strongly is electrons are attracted towards the nucleus of an atom.

Electrical conductivity is a property of a substance to allow passage of a electric current through it.

Electronegativity is defined as the chemical property of an atom to attract the shred pair of electron toward it self.

Specific heat capacity is defined as heat required to raise the temperature by 1 degree Celsius of 1 gram of a substance.
