Solution

The correct option is D bonded atoms in a molecule

Electronegativity is a dimensionless property because it is only a tendency. It indicates the effective result of the tendencies of atoms in different elements to attract the bond-forming pairs of the electron. One can measure electronegativity on many scales. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the table with electronegativity as 3.98. Caesium is the least electronegative element with value 0.79.

The correct option is D.
