The minimum covalency is observedby the atom:
a) I
b) F
c) Cl
d) Si

Dear student,
the correct answer is option b which is fluorine because it has no electrons in d orbital and it has only one unpaired electron in p orbital so it can only attach to one other atom i.e. it can make only one single bond.
Regards
