Answer:
C. Cs < K < P
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the basically the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. The pauling scale is used to quantify electronegativity, the most electronegative element; fluorine has a value of 4.0 and francium, the least electronegative element has a value of 0.7
The electronegative values of the following elements are given as;
K = 0.82
Cs =0.79
P = 2.19
Arranging in order of increasing electronegativity, we have;
Cs < K < P. The correct option is;
C. Cs < K < P
Answer:
Fe(CN)₂, FeCO₃, Pb(CN)₄, Pb(CO₃)₂
Explanation:
Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.
1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻
-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0
2.) FeCO₃
-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻
-----> +2 + (-2) = 0
3.) Pb(CN)₄
-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻
-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0
4.) Pb(CO₃)₂
-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻
-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0
