Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the element
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is a term which describes the tendency of any species to pull the shared pair of electrons towards itself. More is the electronegativity of an element, more is the attraction of electron pairs towards itself. Trend of electronegativity in a period is different from the trend of electronegativity in a group.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the element
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is a term which describes the tendency of any species to pull the shared pair of electrons towards itself. More is the electronegativity of an element; more is the attraction of electron pairs towards itself. Trend of electronegativity in a period is different from the trend of electronegativity in a group.
