Why does oxygen have a higher electronegativity compared to chlorine?

Chemistry

Answer:

The  electronegativity   of fluorine  compare  to the  electronegativity   of oxygen and chlorine as below

Explanation:

Fluorine  has the highest electronegativity than oxygen, and  chlorine.

 Explanation

Generally  the  electronegativity  increase   across the period ( from the left to the right)  and  decreases down  the group.

Both oxygen and fluorine  are in period 2   in  periodic   table. since  fluorine is on  fur  right side as compared to oxygen , fluorine has higher  electronegativity than  oxygen.

On the  other side  Fluorine  and  chlorine are  in the same group in periodic table. fluorine  is at  the top of  the group  while chlorine  is at  the bottom therefore fluorine has  higher electronegativity  than chlorine.

The normal boiling point of mercury (Hg) is 356.7 °C. What is the vapor pressure of mercury at 333 °C in atm? (∆Hvap = 58.51 kJ/
grigory [225]

Answer:

Here you can use the Clausis Clayperon equation: ln P1/P2=-Ea/R-(1/T1 - 1/T2)

where P1 is the pressure at standard condition: 760 mm Hg

P2 is the variable we need to solve

Ea is the activation energy, which in this case is delta H vaporisation: 56.9 kJ/mol

R is the gas constant 8.314 J/mol or 8.314 J/mol /1000 to convert to kJ

T1 is the normal boiling point 356.7 C, but converted to Kelvin: 629.85K

T2 is room temperature 25 C, but converted to Kelvin: 298.15 K

Once you plug everything in, you should get 4.29*10^-3 mmHg
