Question

What are the five typical elements that do the best job at attracting electrons in a molecule?

Answer 1

The best way to gauge an element's ability to attract electrons is 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 2

duno

Answer 3

electron attracting groups are electron defecient

so they are the elements of group 7A

like

flourine

chlorine

bromine

iodine

astatine

when in a molecule they attract the shared air of electron towards them in order to gain stable electronic configuration

Answer 4

Those with the highest electronegativity.

Fluorine, oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen and bromine.
