Answer : 4. "Lithium"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Lithium Explanation: Electronegativity is the tendency for an atom to attract electrons. There are general trends on the periodic table which you can use to determine the relative electronegativity for different elements, but otherwise you can also look at their valence shell and effective nuclear charge to determine their relative electronegativity.   Here from the given options, Lithium has least tendency to attract electrons and thus has a lower electronegativity.

Answer :
Explanation :

You should have recorded in your cash books all amounts you have actually received and payments you have actually made. However the cash books may be incomplete as your bank may have put extra transactions through your account such as: ► bank fees or interest charges► direct debits (payments) and direct credits (receipts). Doing a regular bank reconciliation will allow you to: ► take into account any extra transactions your bank puts through your account and► check and record any errors or omissions. By regularly doing a bank reconciliation (say monthly) you can be more confident that your records contain all the information you need to prepare your income tax return and activity statements.

Currently, the index has a total of 697 items, including primary articles, fuel and power and manufactured products.
