Read each question carefully and provide concise, accurate answers. Use your knowledge of electronegativity to explain observed trends and predict bond types.
1. Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity?
Lithium (Li)
Oxygen (O)
Carbon (C)
Fluorine (F)
2. As you move across a period in the periodic table, electronegativity generally:
Increases
Decreases
Remains constant
Fluctuates randomly
3. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract in a chemical bond.
4. A large difference in electronegativity between two atoms typically results in a bond.
5. The most electronegative element on the periodic table is .
6. Explain the general trend of electronegativity down a group in the periodic table. What factors contribute to this trend?
7. How can electronegativity be used to predict the polarity of a chemical bond? Provide an example.
8. All covalent bonds are nonpolar.
True
False
9. Ionic bonds form between atoms with very similar electronegativity values.
True
False
Match the bond type with its electronegativity difference range.
10. Nonpolar Covalent
a. > 1.7
11. Polar Covalent
b. 0.4 - 1.7
12. Ionic
c. 0 - 0.4
