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.

A 46.9 gram sample of a substance has a volume of about 3.5 centimeters3. It is solid at a room temperature of 23ºC. Out of the
Masteriza [31]

Answer:- C. Hafnium.

Solution:- Mass of the sample is 46.0 g and it's volume is 3.5cm^3 .

From mass and volume, we can calculate it's density using the formula:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

density=\frac{46.9g}{3.5cm^3}

density=\frac{13.4g}{cm^3}

On the basis of the density, this substance could either be mercury or hafnium. Since the substance is a solid at room temperature where as mercury is liquid. So, it can't be mercury.

The right choice is C) Hafnium.

The distance between particles______when the temperature increases and
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

increases

decreases

Explanation:

The distance between particles increases when the temperature increases and decreases when temperature decreases.

  • Temperature changes in a system causes the particle of such system to behave in different ways.
  • When particles gain heat energy as their temperature increases, they begin to move further apart.
  • As their temperature reduces they tend to coalesce.
