Occasionally, we will see an ionic compound that has a 1 counterion. (Later we will find that 1 counterions are often more than spectators and take an active role in many reactions.) a.

One scale for electronegativity is based on the concept thatthe electronegativity of any atom is proportional to theionization energy of the atom minus its electron affinity:electronegativity = k1I - EA2, where k is a proportionalityconstant. (a) How does this definition explain why the electronegativityof F is greater than that of Cl, even though Clhas the greater electron affinity? (b) Why are both ionizationenergy and electron affinity relevant to the notion ofelectronegativity? (c) By using data in Chapter 7, determinethe value of k that would lead to an electronegativity of 4.0for F under this definition. (d) Use your result from part (c)to determine the electronegativities of Cl and O using thisscale. (e) Another scale for electronegativity defines electronegativityas the average of an atom’s first ionization energyand its electron affinity. Using this scale, calculate the electronegativitiesfor the halogens, and scale them so that fluorinehas an electronegativity of 4.0. On this…
