Select the more electronegative atom. C versus F

OpenStudy (abhisar):

The element situated at the most right hanside is most electronegative.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

*handside.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Fluorine is in group 17 while carbon is in group 14. Both are in same period. Thus fluorine ismore electronegative.

OpenStudy (asib1214):

the EN of carbon is 2.6 and EN of fluorine is 4.0

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Getting my points ?

OpenStudy (asib1214):

4 is the highest on the EN chart meaning it has quite a bit of potential to snatch an electron from somebody. i hoe it answers your question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the more electronegative atom. Rb versus Br

OpenStudy (asib1214):

hope* lol

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Use the same method i told u to compare !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Rb will be eectropositive basically, It's an alkali metal. Br will be more electronegative.

OpenStudy (asib1214):

Abhisar is right, use the periodic table. Br has a stronger EN than Rb.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Electronegativity increases as we move towards right !
