Chapter 19, Problem 19.25SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given elements has to be arranged in the increasing order of electronegativity

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity:

Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves.

• Electronegativity increases in a period from left to right because the atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases from going left to right in a period.
• Electronegativity of a series of transition metals is almost similar
• Electronegativity decreases down the group because the atomic size increases.
