Concept explainers
Interpretation: The electronegativity of sulphur atoms should be calculated using ionization energy and electron attachment enthalpy values which should be compared with the electronegativity value of given atom.
Concept Introduction:
Electronegativity: It is defined as the capacity of the atom to abstract the pair of electrons towards itself results to have high negative charge.
Polar molecule: The molecule consists of atoms bonded with different electronegativity. Dipole moment is used to measure the polarity of the molecule.
Polarity of a molecule is measured in term of dipole moment.
Dipole moment for a polar molecule is non-zero and for a non-polar molecule dipole moment is zero.

- n your own words, what is meant by the term electronegativity? What are the trends across and down the periodic table for electronegativity? Explain them, and describe how they are consistent with trends of ionization energy and atomic radii.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_forward• define electronegativity and state how electronegativity varies with position in the periodic table.arrow_forward
