Chapter 12, Problem 85E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electronegativity difference in $\text{B}-\text{Cl}$ bond is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity is the property of an element by which it can attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond. Highly electronegative elements strongly attract electrons towards itself. On the other hand, the attraction of electrons towards elements is less strong in the low electronegative element.
