To get this it helps to know the electronegativity numbers of the elements but it isn't required. You just need to know that Fluorine is the most electronegative element and that the farther away from Fluorine you are on the periodic table, the less electronegative you get. The one exception to this rule is hydrogen with actually has an electronegativity of 2.1 while lithium has one of 1.0. Also the higher difference in electronegativity between two atoms the more polar the bond is.

Now to start the question. H-Br could be a contender since H has an electronegativity number of 2.1 and Br is relatively close to Fluorine so we'll put that one aside for now. H-Cl knocks out A because both bonds have H but one bond has Br and the other has Cl. Cl is closer to Fluorine than Br so answer B is the contender now. For answer C, I and Br are too close to have a higher electronegativity difference than H-Cl so that one isn't it. Finally for answer D, I is much closer to Cl than H is so the electronegativity difference is much less, making your answer B.

Answer: It showed that all atoms contain electrons.

Explanation:

J.J. Thomson's experiments inside a cathode ray tube in the presence of an electric field showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles "electrons".

Also, Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."

Furthermore, Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny positively-charged nucleus.

Then, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom based on these results.

Compare and contrast: element, atom, isotope

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Element is made up of the atoms or isotopes. Isotopes are where only neutrons change in number, such as 3 turning to 2 or to 5. Atom is where it is not changed and it is the original, and example is instead of Carbon13 it is just Carbon. I hope this helps.
