Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether element 1 has higher electronegative value than that of element 2 should be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Close relationship between ionic and covalent bonding models becomes apparent if the bond polarity and electronegativity is considered. Electronegativity is the measure of relative attractive for the shared pair of electrons in a bond. Higher the electronegative value for an atom, the more it attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
In Periodic table, when moving from left to right in a period, the electronegativity value increases. While moving from top to bottom within group, the electronegativity value decreases. Nonmetals have higher electronegativity values than metals. Metals gives electrons and nonmetals accepts electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether element 4 has higher electronegative value than that of element 5 should be indicated.

- Which 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_forwardA polyatomic ion is composed of C, N, and an unknown element X. The skeletal Lewis structure of this polyatomic ion is [XCN]. The ion X2 has an electron configuration of [Ar]4s23d104p6. What is element X? Knowing the identity of X, complete the Lewis structure of the polyatomic ion, including all important resonance structures.arrow_forward
- For each of the following pairs of elements, identify which element would be expected to be more electronegative. It should not be necessary to look at a table of actual electronegativity values. msp;a.BeorBab.NorPc.ForClarrow_forwardPart A: What is electronegativity? The distance from the nucleus to the outside of the electron cloud The amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outer shell of an atom An element's ability to attract electrons from another element Part B: How does electronegativity change across a period? increases from left to right decreases from left to right increases from top to bottom decreases from top to bottom Part C: How does electronegativity change down a group? increases from left to right decreases from left to right increases from top to bottom decreases from top to bottom Part D: Why do smaller atoms tend to have a higher electronegativity? With the electrons closer to the nucleus, it is easier to steal more electrons from other…arrow_forwardCreate a word or name of your choice in the periodic table. Then, arrange them in order of decreasing electronegativities and ionization energies, respectively. (make 2 sets of elements).arrow_forward
- Decide whether these proposed Lewis structures are reasonable. proposed Lewis structure Is the proposed Lewis structure reasonable? Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are: 0 Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. a=ö:] The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are: 0 Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. :0: The correct number is: 0 HIC-H No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:" * If two or more atoms of the same element don't satisfy the octet rule, just enter the chemical symbol as many times as necessary. For example, if two oxygen atoms don't satisfy the octet rule, enter "O,0". X 5 ? : Z: I :Z:arrow_forward1.

- Explain the difference between electronegativity difference and bond type? Explain the difference between bond polarity and electronegativity?arrow_forwardFor the structure CIO3 draw a Lewis structure using Cl as the central atom... For the structure that obeys the octet rule which of the following are correct? There are a total of 26 valence electrons There are a total of 24 valence electrons There are a total of 25 valence electrons OCI has one lone pair of electrons CI makes a double bond to one of the oxygens Each O has a -1 formal charge 20 atoms make a double bond to Cl All 30 atoms make a double bond to Clarrow_forwardElectronegativity is the ability of an element to pull electrons towards itself in a bond. In a bond, the atom with the greater electronegativity will have a partial charge, and the atom with the lower electronegativity will have a partial charge. Fluorine has the higher/lower electronegativity and Francium has the higher/lower electronegativity. Metals like to gain/lose electrons, while nonmetals like to gain/lose electrons. Thus, metals have a electronegativity, while nonmetals have a electronegativity. a. negative b. positive c. lower d. higher e. lose f. gain g. the same h. none of thesearrow_forward
