Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.

Whereas when there is difference in values electronegativity of two different atoms then it is known as electronegativity difference.

For example, in a HCl compound the hydrogen atom is electropositive and chlorine atom is electronegative. Electronegativity value of hydrogen is 2.1 and chlorine has 3.0.

Hence, difference in their electronegativities is 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9.

Also, it is known that when the electronegativity difference is less than or equal to 1.7 then the bond formed between the combining atoms will be polar covalent.

A compound is made up of iron and oxygen, only. The ratio of iron ions to oxide ions is 2:3 in this compound. The IUPAC name for
never [62]

Answer: The correct option is 3.

Explanation: We are given a compound which is made up of iron and oxygen only. The ratio of the two are given as:

\frac{\text{iron ions}}{\text{oxide ions}}=\frac{2}{3}

This means that, number of iron ions are 2

Number of oxide ions are 3

From the above information, the formula becomes : Fe_2O_3

The valency of iron = 3

Valency of oxide = 2

This compound is named as iron (III) oxide.

Hence, the correct option is 3
