Question

34. The electronegativity value of chlorine and
bromine are respectively 3 and 2.8. Formula
of a binary compound is best represented as
1) BrCI
3) CIBr
4) CIBrg
mitu of the follomiti
~2) CIBr;

Answer 1

Answer:

BrCl will be answer

because electronegativity for 2.8 will taken as 3

Answer 2

Answer:

The formula of the required compound is BrCl.

So, the correct option is (1).

Explanation:

Given the value of electronegativity of bromine is 2.8 and chlorine is 3.0.

Since electronegativity of bromine is less and electronegativity of chlorine is more. Therefore, bromine will act as the central atom in the compound and chlorine will act as the side atom or subsidiary atom.

BrCl is the only given option that satisfies the condition, Therefore the correct option is (1)
