Which one of the following has the highest electronegativity ?
Br
Cl
P
Si
B.
Cl
Electronegativity is the tendency to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself. It decreases down the group and increases in period.
Therefore, among the given options, Chlorine (Cl) has the highest electronegativity.
Pauling's electronegativity values for elements are useful in predicting :
polarity of bonds in molecules
position of elements in electromotive series
co-ordination number
dipole moment of various molecules
A metallic oxide reacts with water to from its hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and also liberates oxygen. The metallic oxide could be
CaO
KO2
Li2O
Na2O2
Which of the following pairs involves isoelectronic ions ?
Mn3+ and Fe2+
Mn2+ and Fe3+
Cr3+ and Mn2+
Fe2+ and Co2+
The correct order of ionisation energy of C, N, O and F is
C < N < O < F
C < O < N < F
F < O < N < C
F < N < C < O
Which is the correct order of electronegativity?
F > N < O < C
F > N > O > C
F > N > O < C
F < N < O = C
