Question

Compare the electronegativity value of Cl+, Cl and Cl- with appropriate reason

Answer 1

Answer:

Below is the answer.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the pull of electrons to keep the atom compact i.e smaller size. It can be measured by finding the presence of electrons in an atom. It reduces the atomic size due to the pull of electrons and protons. For example:

Cl+>Cl>Cl-

This is because Cl+ has lager atomic radius due to giving its electron away similarly the other two has smaller atomic radius. Cl- has the least electronegativity due to the presence of additional electrons repelling each other.
