Electronegativity• is the relative ability of atoms to attract shared
electrons • is higher for nonmetals, with fluorine as the
highest with a value of 4.0 • is lower for metals, with cesium and francium as
the lowest with a value of 0.7 • increases from left to right going across a period
on the periodic table• decreases going down a group on the periodic
table

Solution
The metal K on the left of Period 4 has the lowest electronegativity of the three elements. The nonmetal O on the upper right of Period 2 has the highest electronegativity. The nonmetal C, which is on the left of O in the periodic table, has a lower electronegativity than O, but a higher electronegativity than K.
Order of increasing electronegativity: K, C, O

A polar molecule • contains polar bonds
• has a separation of positive and negative charge called a dipole indicated by a dipole arrow
• has dipoles that do not cancel
