Electronegativity Trend Short Practice

Front

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

Back

H < C < O

Front

Electronegativity is...

Back

how good an atom is at attracting electrons

Front

What elements have zero electronegativity?

Back

noble gases

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

Why is Fluorine more electronegative than Chlorine?

Back

Fluorine has less energy levels.

Front

Define electronegativity.

Back

The tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.

Front

Which element is the most electronegative?

Back

Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element.

Front

What is the trend of electronegativity in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Front

What is the electronegativity of noble gases?

Back

Noble gases have an electronegativity of zero.

Front

How does atomic size affect electronegativity?

Back

As atomic size increases, electronegativity decreases.
