what is the meaning of electronegativity?
ans=> Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.
why chlorine is less electronegative than fluorine?
ans=> fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table. It is much smaller in size than chlorine and has a greater tendency to attract electrons than chlorine. However, the electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is more negative than fluorine. This is because fluorine is smaller in size than chlorine.
hope its help you
thanxx and be brainly....................................
here is your answer⤵️⤵️
Electronegativity :
It explains the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair.
pauling scale is most used here.
2)
because Fluorine have more attraction power than chlorine.
Chlorine is most negative.
hope my answer helps you
