Predict whether the electronegativity of the first element will be higher or lower than the second element...

3. Predict whether the electronegativity of the first element will be higher or lower than the second element and indicate the reason from the list. Use all that apply if there is more than one correct answer.
I less principle energy levels
II more principle energy levels
III stronger nuclear charge due to more protons
IV weaker nuclear charge due to less protons
Read these like this: Pb is _______ than Sn because _______.
Sr _______ Sn
P _______ N
Si _______ C

Answer

  1. Sr is lower than Sn because II (more principle energy levels).

  2. P is higher than N because III (stronger nuclear charge due to more protons).

  3. Si is lower than C because II (more principle energy levels) and IV (weaker nuclear charge due to less protons).
