(a)
Interpretation:
The elements that have electronegativity values more than that of sulfur has to be given using the information from Figure 5-11.
Concept Introduction:
Close relationship between ionic and covalent bonding models becomes apparent if the bond polarity and electronegativity is considered. Electronegativity is the measure of relative attractive for the shared pair of electrons in a bond. Higher the electronegative value for an atom, the more it attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
In Periodic table, when moving from left to right in a period, the electronegativity value increases. While moving from top to bottom within group, the electronegativity value decreases. Nonmetals have higher electronegativity values than metals. Metals gives electrons and nonmetals accepts electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The three least electronegative elements have to be listed using the information from Figure 5-11.

- For each of the following molecular models, write an appropriate Lewis formula.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forwardNo Plagirism Please! Group 1 elements have an average electronegativity of 0.84 (not including hydrogen). Group 17 elements have an average electronegativity of 2.99. These two groups often form bonds. Given this information, which kind of bond will they likely form (ionic or covalent), and what evidence supports your claim? If it is ionic, then include which group gives up its electron to the other group. In three to five sentences, explain your reasoning.arrow_forward

How does electronegativity change as you move from left to right across a period? Explain your answer in terms of the number of protons in the nucleus. 2. Are there any exceptions to the trend in electronegativity as we move from left to right across a period? If so, explain what the exception is and why you think this occurs. 3. How does electronegativity change as you move from top to bottom in a group? Explain your answer in terms of energy levels.arrow_forwardWhich statement does BEST describe the electronegativity values of the elements shown? Electronegativity tends to be lower in the gases than in the solids. Electronegativity decreases with an increasing atomic number within a period. Electronegativity tends to be higher in the metals than in the nonmetals. Electronegativity decreases with an increasing atomic number within a group.arrow_forward6 7 8arrow_forward
- Question 5 Consider the following incomplete structures. On your rough sheet, complete their Lewis structures (including minimizing formal charge) by adding electrons/bonds where necessary. Which statement below is true of the completed Lewis structures? Hint: Consider the potential for multiple bonds on the molecules and be sure to account for all valence electrons. The second Lewis structure has both nonzero formal charges and resonance structures, while the first Lewis structure has resonance structures but no nonzero formal charges. The first Lewis structure has non-zero formal charges but does not have resonance structures, while the second exhibits both resonance structures and nonzero formal charges O None of these O The formal charges on all the atoms are zero, and the molecules have no resonance structures. The second Lewis structure has nonzero formal charges but no resonance structures, while the first has resonance structures but no nonzero formal charges. The first Lewis…arrow_forward14. Which of the following statements are INCORRECT? A) In a bond, A-Y, the electronegativity difference between of two atoms determine how the A-Y bond breaks. B) If the atoms, A and Y, in the compound, AY, has electronegativity values that are almost the same, then the A-Y bond is polar. C) Electronegativity is the property of the atoms forming a given bond, which determines the polarity of the bond. D) The electronegativity of elements on the periodic table increases going from left to the right in each row.arrow_forwardMain group metals lose electrons, resulting in the electron configuration of the previous noble gas. Nonmetals gain electrons, resulting in the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas. Transition metals do NOT follow the Octet rule True or false?arrow_forward
- Considering period 2 elements (AN #3-10) what happens to the electronegativity values as you move across the period?arrow_forwardPlease help me with this question (Explain). What would be the correct answer?arrow_forwardElectronegativity is the ability of an element to pull electrons towards itself in a bond. In a bond, the atom with the greater electronegativity will have a partial charge, and the atom with the lower electronegativity will have a partial charge. Fluorine has the higher/lower electronegativity and Francium has the higher/lower electronegativity. Metals like to gain/lose electrons, while nonmetals like to gain/lose electrons. Thus, metals have a electronegativity, while nonmetals have a electronegativity. a. negative b. positive c. lower d. higher e. lose f. gain g. the same h. none of thesearrow_forward
