Question

On Pauling scale which of the following does not
have electronegativity > 3.0

(a) Oxygen
(b) Nitrogen
(c) Chlorine
(d) Bromine​

Answer 1

Answer:

From the above given elements, the element which has electronegativity less than 3.0 according​ to the Pauling scale is option d) Bromine.

Bromine has electronegativity of 2.96.

The bond or pull one atom shares or shows with its electrons is called electronegativity of that atom. It is a quantitative property and not a qualitative property.

In a periodic table when we go from left to right, we see an increase in the electronegativity of the elements placed.

In a periodic table when we go down the electronegativity decreases.
