- Dalton reported that seven pounds of Oxygen reacted with one pound of hydrogen to form water, but accurate modern experiment gives eight pounds to one.
- Lavoisier reported that water contains Oxygen 5.6 times more than hydrogen by weight. 
- Dalton assumed that water contains 1 atom of oxygen and 1 atom of hydrogen and concluded that the relative weight of O must be 5.6 times as large as the H atom.
- By determining the relative mass we will be able to determine for example that one element has twice the mass of a second element.

Which statement is true? 1. The electronegativity of an atom depends only on the value of the ionization energy of the atom. 2.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

5. Atoms with high ionization energies and high electron affinities have low electronegativities.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy which is required to knock out the loosely bound valence electron from the isolated gaseous atom.

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a bond pair to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Low ionization energies as well as low electron affinities mean the atom has low effective nuclear charge, which results in the less attraction of the valence electrons by the atom and thus, low electronegativity.
