Electronegativity

Front

What is Electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is how good an atom is at attracting electrons.

Front

Which element has greater electronegativity: Cl or Al?

Back

Cl has greater electronegativity than Al.

Front

Put these elements in increasing order of electronegativity: C, H, and O.

Back

H < C < O

Front

Why is Fluorine more electronegative than Chlorine?

Back

Fluorine has less energy levels.

Front

Choose the set that goes from lowest to highest electronegativity: Cu, Mg, Sr, Ca, F, Cl, Br, Si, Cs, Rb, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cd, Ag, Cu.

Back

Cs, Rb, Ca, Mg

Front

What trend does electronegativity follow in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Front

What is the electronegativity value of Fluorine?

Back

Fluorine has the highest electronegativity value of 4.0.

Front

How does the number of protons affect electronegativity?

Back

More protons in the nucleus increase the attraction for electrons, raising electronegativity.

Front

What is the relationship between atomic size and electronegativity?

Back

As atomic size increases, electronegativity generally decreases.

Front

Which group of elements typically has low electronegativity?

Back

Alkali metals (Group 1) typically have low electronegativity.
