Which statements are true about electronegativity?
(a) Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period of the Periodic Table.
(b) Electronegativity increases from top to bottom in a column of the Periodic Table
. (c) Hydrogen, the element with the lowest atomic number, has the smallest electronegativity.
(d) The higher the atomic number of an element, the greater its electronegativity.
ii.
Answer true or false.
(a) A covalent bond is formed between two atoms whose difference in electronegativity is less
than 1.9.
(b) If the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is zero (they have identical
electronegativities), then the two atoms will not form a covalent bond.
(c) A covalent bond formed by sharing two electrons is called a double bond.
(d) In the hydrogen molecule (H2), the shared pair of electrons completes the valence shell of
each hydrogen.
(e) In the molecule CH4, each hydrogen has an electron configuration like that of helium, and
carbon has an electron configuration like that of neon.
(f) In a polar covalent bond, the more electronegative atom has a partial negative charge (8-)
and the less electronegative atom has a partial positive charge (&+).
(g) These bonds are arranged in order of increasing polarity C-H

- Answer true or false. (a) The octet rule refers to the chemical bonding patterns of the first eight elements of the Periodic Table. (b) The octet rule refers to the tendency of certain elements to react in such a way that they achieve an outer shell of eight valence electrons.
