<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself in a compound.
When electron is transferred from less electronegative atom to more electronegative atom.
The atom which is more electronegative gains electron and undergoes reduction reaction.
Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.
During the transfer of electrons, energy is released when an electron looses is potential energy during the transfer.
Hence, the correct answer is Option d.
Explanation:
An atom consists of two regions. The first is the tiny atomic nucleus, which is in the center of the atom and contains positively charged particles called protons and neutral, uncharged, particles called neutrons. ... Most atoms contain all three of these types of subatomic particles—protons, electrons, and neutrons.
1.Some metals have multiple oxidation states. Eg. Chromium
2. Métal forms cations when ionized
Answer:
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract the electrons when the atom is part of a compound. Electronegativity values generally increase from left to right across the periodic table. The highest electronegativity value is for fluorine.
