Why does fluorine have the highest electronegativity

Chemistry
1 answer:
ICE Princess25 [194]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because it only needs one more electron to get to a full valence shell (8), so it really wants it and is pulling other electrons in. It also has to do with needing one more electron to fill the 2p shell. It is a small element which means its electrons are pulled tightly to the nucleus.

Hope this helps!

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: hydrogen fluoride (HF), carbon tetr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

HF - hydrogen bonding

CBr4 - Dispersion

NF3 - Dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, chlorine nitrogen, oxygen etc. Hence the dominant intermolecular force in HF is hydrogen bonding.

CBr4 is nonpolar because the molecule is tetrahedral and the individual C-Br dipole moments cancel out leaving the molecule with a zero dipole moment hence the dominant intermolecular force are the dispersion forces.

NF3 has a resultant dipole moment hence the molecules are held together by dipole-dipole interaction.

In cucumbers, green skin (G) is dominant to striped skin (g). If a farmer crosses a heterozygous (hybrid) cucumber with a homozy
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Half will be green and half will be striped

Explanation:

Given green skin (G) is dominant to striped skin (g).

Cucumber 1 : Heterozygous (Gg)

Cucumber 2 : Homozygous striped (gg)

When Gg X gg :

     G      g

g   Gg   gg

g   Gg   gg

Half of the offspring will have Gg genotype so they will be green. Other half will have gg genotype so they will be striped.

Which of the two forces is greater the force on the firefly or the force on the bus explain your answer please I really need hel
maksim [4K]

Answer: The force on the firefly

The unfortunate firefly hitting the bus does not change the velocity of the bus very much. Technically there is a change, but it's so very small and miniscule that it barely registers. To any casual observer not paying very close attention, they don't notice anything at all. So effectively the force on the firefly is a lot greater since the firefly got the worst end of the deal.

So in short, we look at the velocity of each object and see which velocity changed the most. In this case, the firefly's velocity changed from whatever speed it was flying to 0 when it stops flying all together. That's why the force is greater on the bug.
