Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given atoms has to be arranged in increasing order of electronegativity.
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity increases in a period from left to right due to atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases from going left to right in a period.
Electronegativity means the bonded electron between two atom, to attracts a shared pair of electrons towards itself is called Electronegativity
Electronegativity of a series of
Electronegativity decreases down the group because the atomic size increases.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given atoms has to be arranged in increasing order of electronegativity.
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity increases in a period from left to right due to atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases from going left to right in a period.
Electronegativity means the bonded electron between two atom, to attracts a shared pair of electrons towards itself is called Electronegativity
Electronegativity of a series of transition metals is almost similar
Electronegativity decreases down the group because the atomic size increases.

- Define the term lattice energy. Why, energetically, do ionic compounds form? Fig. 3-8 illustrates the energy changes involved in the formation of MgO(s) and NaF(s). Why is the lattice energy of MgO(s) so different from that of NaF(s)? The magnesium oxide is composed of Mg2+ and O2 ions. Energetically, why does Mg2+O2 form and not Mg+O? Why doesnt Mg3+O3 form?arrow_forwardn your own words, what is meant by the term electronegativity? What are the trends across and down the periodic table for electronegativity?
