Electronegativity is the measure of the capacity of an atom to-

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Attract electrons.
· Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself when it forms a chemical bond with another atom.
· Higher electronegativity indicates a stronger attraction for electrons.
Information Booster:
· Repel protons: Protons are positively charged and are located in the nucleus; electronegativity does not relate to repelling protons.
· Repel electrons: Electronegativity is about attraction, not repulsion of electrons.
· Attract protons: Electronegativity specifically refers to attracting electrons, not protons.
