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.

What is the first step to determine the sequence of filling electron configurations of an element?

faust18 [17]

Basically, the arrangement of electrons in electronic configuration follows three principles:

1. Aufbau Principle
You start from the highest energy level to the lowest. The arrangement is: 1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s<4f<5d<6p<7s<5f<6d<7p.

2. Hund's Rule
Each box in the configuration can hold up to 2 electrons. This rule tells you to fill all boxes of one particular subshell with 1 electron first, before double occupying them.

3. Pauli's Exclusion Principle
This rule tells you that the two electrons in a box shall always have opposite spins, represented by one half-arrow up and one half-arrow down.

Does salt water have more or less cohesion than distilled water? Why?

Rama09 [41]

Salt water have less cohesion than distilled water. This is because most of the atoms are already bonded to each other so there are less atoms to be able to let cohesion occur. Hope this answers the question.

Consider the following reaction: SO2Cl2(g)⇌SO2(g)+Cl2(g) A reaction mixture is made containing an initial [SO2Cl2] of 2.2×10−2M

Andrej [43]

The value of equilibrium constant is equal to the quotient of the products raised to its stoichiometric coefficient over the reaction's reactants raised to its respective stoichiometric coeff. The equation is Kc=[SO2][Cl2]/[SO2Cl2]= [1.3*10^-2][1.3*10^-2]/[2.2*10^-2-1.3*10^-2]=0.0188. The final answer is Kc=0.0188.
