Why does oxygen have a higher electronegativity compared to chlorine?

Chemistry
1 answer:
bezimeni [28]3 years ago
6 0

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.

A very hot cube of copper metal (32.5 g) is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 0C and it reach a thermal equilibrium of 17.
zysi [14]

Answer:

The initial temperature of the metal is 84.149 °C.

Explanation:

The heat lost by the metal will be equivalent to the heat gain by the water.  

- (msΔT)metal = (msΔT)water

-32.5 grams × 0.365 J/g°C × ΔT = 105.3 grams × 4.18 J/g °C × (17.3 -15.4)°C

-ΔT = 836.29/12.51 °C

-ΔT = 66.89 °C

-(T final - T initial) = 66.89 °C

T initial = 66.89 °C + T final

T initial = 66.89 °C + 17.3 °C

T initial = 84.149 °C.

In the bromination of arenes, which of the following statements regarding the reaction is true?a.The hydrocarbon is used in exce
Olenka [21]

The hydrocarbon is used in excess.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bromination of an arene is not simple as bromination of an alkane. This is because the carbocation or free radicle formation in benzene is a very energy consuming process. This is why a lewis base like aluminium bromide or ferric bromide is used. The ferric bromide takes in the bromine radicle and forms the brominium cation which helps in the formation of electrophile. Now this electrophile brominium cation attacks the benzene ring and forms a temporary sp3 hybrid carbon intermediate. Then the hydrogen is taken by the FeBr4- forming HBr and regenerating the FeBr3 as well as Aromaticity of the arene species at the same time. Here hydrocarbon is used in excess just to prevent the chances of multiple substitution in the same arene molecule.
