Question

Select the more electronegative element in each pair.a.Cl or Fb.Se or Oc.N or Asd.Na or Mg

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly atoms attract electrons to themselves.

Process

Look for the electronegativity of each element and compare.

a) Cl = 3.16   F = 3.98          Fluorine has a higher electronegativity

b) Se = 2.55 O = 3.44         Oxygen has a higher electronegativity

c) N = 3.04 As = 2.18         Nitrogen has a higher electronegativity

d) Na = 0.93 Mg = 1.31       Magnesium has a higher electronegativity
