Which element, Xenon or Lithium, has a full outer shell of electrons?
Xenon; it is a noble gas, group 18
Which has the highest electronegativity, Neon or Oxygen?
Oxygen. Reason: Neon is a noble gas and thus has 0 electronegativity.
Which has the highest ionization energy, Mg or Sr?
Mg Ionization decreases as it goes down the group.
