<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself whenever a bond is formed.
This property increases as we move from left to right across a period because the number of charge on the nucleus gets increased and electrons are attracted more towards the nucleus.
This property decreases as we move from top to bottom in a group because the electrons get add up in the new shells which make them further away from the nucleus.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A.
The most eletronegative elements are to the right of the periodic table. The electronegativities increase as you move right.
Fluorine and Chlorine are the highest.
Fluorine is 4.0
Chlorine is 3.0
Fluorine is the answer.
Answer:
b.) Br and Br
Explanation:
A covalent bond occurs when electrons are shared between two atoms causing them to form a bond.
A "pure" covalent bond refers to a nonpolar covalent bond. In these bonds, the electrons are shared equally between two atoms as a result of the absence of an (or very small) electronegativity difference. The purest covalent bond would therefore be between two atoms of the same electronegativity. Two bromines (Br) have the same electronegativity, thus making it the purest covalent bond.
Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared unequally between two atoms. There is a larger electronegativity difference between the two atoms, but not large enough to classify the bonds as ionic. In this case, a.) and c.) are polar covalent bonds and d.) is an ionic bond.
Answer:
Explanation:
The actual boiling point is probably between 34C and 40C.
