Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
Recall that elements in the same group (vertical column) of the periodic table tend to have similar chemical properties, including electronegativity.
Identify that fluorine (F) is in Group 17, the halogens, which are known for high electronegativity values.
Compare the given elements: Oxygen (O) is in Group 16, Nitrogen (N) is in Group 15, Sodium (Na) is in Group 1, and Chlorine (Cl) is in Group 17 like fluorine.
Conclude that Chlorine (Cl), being in the same group as fluorine, has characteristics most similar in terms of electronegativity.
