Which one is not the absolute term of the element _________________ ?
Correct answer: C. Electro negativity
- A. Ionization energy
- B. Electron affinity
- C. Electro negativity
- D. Atomic size
Explanation
Electronegativity is a relative scale for an atom’s tendency to attract bonding electrons, so it is not an absolute measurable property. Ionization energy, electron affinity and atomic size can be determined or defined as properties of isolated atoms. Students may choose a because ionization energy is sometimes confused with electronegativity, although they are different quantities.

About Periodic Properties and Trends
Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
