<span>Electronegativity is the property of an element that measures the ability of it to attract and form electron bonds. The trend in the periodic table in terms of electronegativity decreases from right to left and from top to bottom. In the case of period 4, the element with the highest electronegativity is bromine. </span>

Answer:

Bromine (Br) has the highest electronegativity.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract the bonding electrons towards itself.

In general, electronegativity increases on moving from left to right across a period. Therefore, the most electronegative elements occupy the rightmost column of the periodic table. This is because, on moving across a period the atomic number increases which increases the nuclear charge on the atom. As a result, the electrons around the vicinity of such atoms feel a strong nuclear pull.

Although, noble gases occupy the last column on the right of the periodic table, they already have completely filled octets and hence in general do not exhibit electronegativity. Therefore, it is the halogen group which precede the noble gases, that are the most electronegative. Period 4, terminates with the halogen, bromine (Br) which is the most electronegative.

lara [203]

Answer:

bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy

antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy

Explanation:

Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.

Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.

What has a density of q
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

  • Water has the density of 1.0g/ml
  • Anything with a density of less than 1.0/ml will float above water.
  • Alcohol would float above the water since it has a lighter density.

Do chemical equations with no reaction still have to be balanced
dangina [55]

Answer:

The same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of a chemical equation. However, simply writing down the chemical formulas of reactants and products does not always result in equal numbers of atoms. You have to balance the equation to make the number of atoms equal on each side of an equation.

Why does beryllium lose electrons when forming ionic bonds,while sulfur gains electrons?
Nadya [2.5K]
Beryllium is a metal so it needs to loose electrons to have a full outer shell while sulfur is a non-metal so it needs to gain electrons to fill its outer shell.
