Question

What are the five typical elements that accept electrons the best?

Answer 1

electron accepting

halogens are the best electron accepting species

eg: flourine

      chlorine

bromine

iodine

astatine

they reside in group 7A

Answer 2

duno

Answer 3

Those elements which have high electronegativity. These are usually found closer to the right side of the periodic table. There are a few reasons for this, but I'll let you check that out on your own since you're not asking that in particular.

Answer 4

The best way to gauge an element's ability to accept electrons is also by it's electronegativity.

The elements with the highest electronegativities are [1]:

1. Fluorine: 3.98

2. Oxygen: 3.44

3. Chlorine: 3.16

4. Nitrogen: 3.04

5. Krypton: 3

Answer 5

I believe it would be elements in group 15 with an oxidation number of -3: nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth
