See lessElectronegativity is a measure of an element's ability to attract and bond with electrons, forming negative ions. Elements high in electronegativity, like those in the p-block of the periodic table, have high ionization energies and are closely aligned to achieving a stable noble gas electron configuration, making them less electropositive. The p-block includes a diverse group of elements, from metals to nonmetals, with halogens and noble gases being highly electronegative. Fluorine, the most electronegative element, leads with an electronegativity of 4.0 on the Pauling scale. This property influences the type of bonds they form—preferably covalent, where electrons are shared. Across the periodic table, as atomic numbers increase or as one moves from left to right, the metallic character decreases. This trend is due to atoms preferring to accept electrons to complete their valence shell. Conversely, the metallic character increases down the group, as larger atomic radii decrease the nucleus-electron attraction, making electrons easier to lose. Group 18 contains noble gases, known for their inertness. This comprehension delves into the nuances of electronegativity and its significant influence on element properties and reactivity within the periodic table, highlighting the diversity of the p-block elements and their inclination towards covalent bonding, contrasting with the general trends in metallic character across the table. Which chemical element of Group 18 of the periodic table is produced by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in soils and rocks?
