Rank the following elements by increasing electronegativity sulfur, oxygen, neon, aluminum

Respuesta :

Answer:

Increasing order of Electronegativity:

Neon < Aluminum < Sulfur <Oxygen

0 < 1.61 < 2.58 < 3.44

Explanation:

Electronegativity:

Electronegativity is the power of an atom to attract shared pair of electron in a bond.

Trend in Periodic Table:

  • Electronegativity increases from left to right along the period
  • It decreases from top to bottom in a group of the periodic table.
  • But there are some irregularities in the periodic table as group have differently behave, the are the most stable elements in the periodic table.
  • Group VIIIA have complete there duplet and octaet of electron in shells.
  • Flourin is the most electronegative element in periodic table
  • Cs is the less electronegative and most electropositive in the periodic table
  • Atomic radii also effect the electronegativity, the greater the size atom smaller the electronegativity and vise versa.

Electronegativity of the following Compounds is

1. Electronegativity of sulfur:

Sulfur is in group 4 and its

EN of Sulfur = 2.58

2. Electronegative of oxygen:

Oxygen is in group VIA and much electronegative than Sulfur.

The EN oxygen = 3.44  

3. Electronegative of Neon:

Neon is group VIIIA member and most stable element thats why have it have no data for electronegativity.

The EN of Neon = 0

4. Electronegative of Al:

It is group IIIA member and have less electronegativity

The EN of Aluminum= 1.61

So the Increasing order of electronegativity is

Neon < Aluminum < Sulfur <Oxygen
