(a)
Interpretation: The element having higher electronegativity is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An atom's tendency to attract the bonding electrons into a covalent bond is known as electronegativity.
(a)
Answer to Problem 45A
F
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. Element Cl is placed below F. So, F will have higher electronegativity than Cl.
(b)
Interpretation: The element having higher electronegativity is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An atom's tendency to attract the bonding electrons into a covalent bond is known as electronegativity.
(b)
Answer to Problem 45A
N
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. C is placed in group 14 and N is placed in group 15. So, nitrogen is placed right to the C.
Thus, the electronegativity of N is more than C.
(c)
Interpretation: The element having higher electronegativity is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An atom's tendency to attract the bonding electrons into a covalent bond is known as electronegativity.
(c)
Answer to Problem 45A
Mg
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. Mg is placed below Ne, so Ne should have higher electronegativity than Mg. Since Ne is a noble gas, its electronegativity is zero.
Thus, among Mg and Ne, Mg will have higher electronegativity.
(d)
Interpretation: The element having higher electronegativity is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An atom's tendency to attract the bonding electrons into a covalent bond is known as electronegativity.
(d)
Answer to Problem 45A
As
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. Ca is placed in group 2 and
