Question

Electronegativity affects the strength of intermolecular forces. A very electronegative atom will create a stronger negative charge . True or false

Answer 1

Answer:

Electronegative atom will create a stronger negative charge is true.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electronegativity affects the strength of intermolecular forces.

We know that,

Electronegativity :

Electronegativity is a ability of an atom, shared electron to itself.

In periodic table,

When we move left to right in period then the electronegativity increases.

When we move up to down in a group then the electronegativity decreases.

We know that,

The intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions which is the strongest intermolecular force of attraction.

If the electronegativity of atom is more, then the atom gain negative charge.

When the attraction force is more in atoms then the electronegative will be more.

Hence, Electronegative atom will create a stronger negative charge is true.
