2. Decrease on descending a group. |
|
Why is fluroine the most electronegative element? |
1. Fluorine is so close to ideal electron configuration, the electrons are held very tightly to the nucleus 2. It has the smallest atomic radius of the halogens. 3. Because the protons are closer to the outermost shell of Fluorine so the strength of the pull is higher towards the electrons |
|
Describe the relationship between ionisation energy and electronegativity? |
Atoms with greater electronegativities also have greater ionization energies |
|
Why does charge across a period increase (left to right)? |
Electronegativity increases across a period because the number of charges on the nucleus increases as the number of protons increases. That attracts the bonding pair of electrons more strongly. |
|
What does the attraction a bonding pair of electrons feels for a nucleus depend upon? |
1. The number of protons in the nucleus as these are what attract electrons 2. The distance the outer shell is from the nucleus 3. The amount of shielding created by inner electrons |
|
Why does electronegativity decrease down the group? |
As you go down a group, electronegativity decreases because the bonding pair of electrons is increasingly distant from the attraction of the nucleus as the number of shells increase and the shielding of inner electrons increases |
|
What happens when a non polar simple molecular substance is added to a non polar solvent? |
1. Intermolecular forces form between the molecules and the solvent 2. The interactions weaken the intermolecular forces in the simple molecular lattice, causing it to break and the coumpound to dissolve |
