An electron loses potential energy when it
A) shifts to a less electronegative atom.
B) shifts to a more electronegative atom.
C) increases its kinetic energy.
D) increases its activity as an oxidizing agent.
E) moves further away from the nucleus of the atom.

Respuesta :

An electron loses PE when it moves from a less electronegative atom to a more electronegative atom because it takes more energy to separate them.
