Ne < Al < S < O

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the property that combines the ability of its atom to lose and gain electrons.

It is the relative tendency with which the atoms of the elements attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Noble gases generally have zero electronegativity due to their stable configuration.
Metals also have low electronegativity due to their size and the number of electrons they possess.
Down a group, electronegativity decreases.

From the Pauling's table of electronegativity:

Ne = 0

Al = 1.5

S = 2.5

O = 3.5

A sample of oxygen gas occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm. If temperature is held constant, what will be the volume

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: The volume of the oxygen gas at a pressure of 2.50 atm will be 1.44 L

At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts, then

PV = c

Thus, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, and if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

It is not necessary to know the exact value of the constant c to be able to use this law since for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, it is satisfied that,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and P₂ as well as V₁ and V₂ correspond to pressures and volumes for two different states of the gas in question.

In this case the first oxygen gas state corresponds to P₁ = 1.00 atm and V₁ = 3.60 L while the second state would be P₂ = 2.50 atm and V₂ = y. Substituting in the previous equation,

1.00 atm x 3.60 L = 2.50 atm x y

We cleared y to find V₂,

V₂ = y = $\frac{1.00 atm x 3.60 L}{2.50 atm}$ = 1.44 L
