(a)
Interpretation: The element having a greater attraction for electrons 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 47A
O
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. Ca is present in group 2 and O is in group 16. So, element O is present on the right side of the periodic table.
Thus, O will have more electronegativity than Ca.
(b)

(b)
Answer to Problem 47A
F
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. Element O is present in group 16 while F is present in group 17. The electronegativity increases from left to right.
Thus, the electronegativity of F is more than O and it will attract more electrons.
(c)
Interpretation: The element having a greater attraction for electrons 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 47A
O
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. H is present in group 1 which is on the extreme left of the periodic table. Element O is present in group 16 which on the right side of the periodic table
Thus, the electronegativity of O is more than H and it will attract more electrons.
(d)
Interpretation: The element having a greater attraction for electrons is to be determined.

(d)
Answer to Problem 47A
S
Explanation of Solution
The electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period. K is present in group 1 which is on the extreme left of the periodic table. Element S is present in group 16 which is on the right side of the periodic table. The electronegativity increases from left to right.
Thus, the electronegativity of S is more than K and it will attract more electrons.
