Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The more electronegativity element has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity:
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period of the Periodic Table, Electronegativity decreases from top to bottom within a group of the Periodic Table
