What is the electronegativity of Xenon?
A
2.6
B
2.4
C
2.2
D
2.0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The electronegativity for xenon (Xe) is 2.6.

Detailed explanation-2: -One way of estimating the ionic character of a bond-that is, the magnitude of the charge separation in a polar covalent bond-is to calculate the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms: = B − A.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why does xenon have electronegativity? Xenon is able to react with other elements, mostly fluorine, to make molecules by doing some weird stuff with its valence orbital. It has an electronegativity because it is able to form bond.
