Electronegativity periodic table

How does Linus Pauling define electronegativity?

• The ability of an atom to attract other atoms to itself

• The quantity of energy required for an atom to discharge an electron

• Linus Pauling never defined electronegativity

• The ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself

What is not a cause for why electronegativity increases across the periodic table?

• Electron affinity increases

• Number of protons increases

• Energy levels are closer to the nucleus

• Effective nuclear charge becomes greater

Which has the greater EN: 
N or C?

• C
• N

Which has the greater EN: 
H or F?

• H
• F

Put these in increasing order:
F, N, B

• B < N < F
• B < F < N
• N < F < B
• F < N < B

Put these in increasing order:
C, H, and O

• H < C < O
• H < O < C
• O < C < H
• C < H < O

Which has the greater EN: 
Cl or Al?

• Cl
• Al

Electronegativity is...

• how good an atom is at attracting electrons
• the ability of an atom to lose electrons
• the energy required to remove an electron from a specific atom
• how easy it is to make friends. 

The element with the largest electronegativity in the halogens is - 

• At
• F
• Cl
• Br

Elements closer to the noble gases have stronger attraction for electrons.

• True
• False
