Concept explainers
Interpretation: The electronegativity of sulphur atoms should be calculated using ionization energy and electron attachment enthalpy values which should be compared with the electronegativity value of given atom.
Concept Introduction:
Electronegativity: It is defined as the capacity of the atom to abstract the pair of electrons towards itself results to have high negative charge.
Polar molecule: The molecule consists of atoms bonded with different electronegativity. Dipole moment is used to measure the polarity of the molecule.
Polarity of a molecule is measured in term of dipole moment.
Dipole moment for a polar molecule is non-zero and for a non-polar molecule dipole moment is zero.

- Given the Lewis symbols for nitrogen and fluorine in Figure 8.2, predict the formula of the stable binary compound (a compoundcomposed of two elements) formed when nitrogen reacts with fluorine and draw its Lewis structure.arrow_forwardCalcium (Ca) has a greater electronegativity than Barium (Ba). Explain why. In your explanation discuss the atom's structure: energy levels (rings), protons, and/or valence electrons.arrow_forwardGive a detailed answerarrow_forward
- Arrange the oxoacids of chlorine according to strength. HCIO, HCIO2,HCIO3,HCIO4arrow_forwardWhat is electronegativity and what are its periodic trends? What is the general relationship between the size of an atom and its ionization energy?arrow_forwardNeon has eight valence electrons in its outer shell. This means it does not easily react with other elements, as it has a full octet. Which other element behaves similarly? carbon lead iodine heliumarrow_forward
- (a) Based on the lattice energies of MgCl2 and SrCl2 given in Table 8.2, what is the range of values that you would expect for the lattice energy of CaCl2? (b) Using data from Appendix C, Figure 7.9, and Figure 7.11 and the value of the second ionization energy for Ca,1145kJ/mol. calculate the lattice energy of CaCl2. Table 8.2 Figure 7.9arrow_forwardn your own words, what is meant by the term electronegativity? What are the trends across and down the periodic table for electronegativity? Explain them, and describe how they are consistent with trends of ionization energy and atomic radii.arrow_forwardWhich statements are true about electronegativity? (a) Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period of the Periodic Table. (b) Electronegativity increases from top to bottom in a column of the Periodic Table. (c) Hydrogen, the element with the lowest atomic number, has the smallest electronegativity. (d) The higher the atomic number of an element, the greater its electronegativity.arrow_forward
- • define electronegativity and state how electronegativity varies with position in the periodic table.arrow_forwardFrom their positions in the periodic table, arrange the atoms in each of the following series in order of increasing electronegativity: (a) As, H, N, P, Sb (b) Cl, H, P, S, Si (c) Br, Cl, Ge, H, Sr (d) Ca, H, K, N, Si (e) Cl, Cs, Ge, H, Srarrow_forwardHydrogen gas and oxygen gas react violently to form water. When this occurs, a very loud noise is heard. Draw the Lewis structures for hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and water. State whether each molecule is polar or nonpolar and why. Explain how the polarity of these molecules is related to hydrogen and oxygen existing in the gas phase at room temperature and water existing in the liquid phase at room temperature. Which is lower in energy for this reaction a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases or water? How do you know this is true?arrow_forward
