Question

Determine the electronegativity difference between the probable bond type and the more electronegative atom with respect to bonds formed between the pairs of atoms Se and S

Answer 1

The electronegativity of the element Se is 2.4, the electronegativity of the element S is 2.5, so the difference between the electronegativity of the elements is 0.1. The probable bond type is non polar covalent bond. Based on the electronegativity values mentioned S is more electronegative.
