Based on standard Pauling electronegativity values, which of the following pairs of elements possess — Periodic Table and Periodicity Chemistry Question
Question
Based on standard Pauling electronegativity values, which of the following pairs of elements possess nearly identical electronegativity values (difference $\le 0.1$)?
Answer: A,B,C
💡 Solution & Explanation
According to the standard Pauling scale: N(3.0) and Cl(3.0) are nearly identical. C(2.5) and S(2.5) are nearly identical. P(2.1) and H(2.1) are nearly identical. Fluorine (4.0) and Chlorine (3.0) have a significant difference of 1.0.
