Hello Students, Do you know ---- Q: Why are the atomic orbitals of oxygen atom in the molecular orbital diagram of carbon monoxide, CO, lower than those of carbon? A: It is because the electronegativity of oxygen is larger than that of carbon. Q: Which halogen has the largest oxidizing power? A: Since the reduction potential of fluorine is the highest, its oxidizing power is the largest. Q: Describe the numerical tendency of electronegativities of the elements in the periodic table. A: They increase toward the right and decrease down the table. Namely, the electronegativity of alkali metal Cs is the smallest and that of fluorine F is the largest. # eCLASS # PhysicsConcepts # ChemistryConcepts # ScienceConcepts # CBSEScience # ICSEScience # NIOSClasses
