Why does oxygen have a higher electronegativity compared to chlorine?

Chemistry
1 answer:
bezimeni [28]2 years ago

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.

Can someone SCIENTIFICALLY explain to me the formation of all types of Acid Rain?<br> Plz
faust18 [17]

so basically

some fuels have an impurity in them which is sulfur.

When the fuel undergoes combustion, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide.

the sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapour in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is a type of acid rain.

Also

the high pressures inside a car engine may cause nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react and form oxides of nitrogen. the most common compounds formed inside car engines are NO (nitrogen oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Because they are normally dissolved in water

Explanation:

The phospholipids can act as molecules that are carry inside or outside the cells, to transport it they are dissolved in another hydrophilic media, in this way the hydrophilic part can be in the outside part of the group of moleucles stick together like in cell membranes that are conformed by a double lipidic layer, in which the hydrophobic part it in the inside part. The cells normally are surrounded by different water solutions as the blood or another solutions.
