Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties - Result Question 46
####46. Pauling’s electronegativity values for elements are useful in predicting
[1989]
(a) Polarity of the molecules
(b) Position in the E.M.F. series
(c) Coordination numbers
(d) Dipole moments.
Show Answer
Solution:
- (a) Paulings electronegativity values for elements are useful in predicting polarity of the molecule.
Pauling scale of electronegativity was helpful in predicting :
(i) Nature of bond between two atoms
(ii) Stability of bond
By calculating the difference in electro-negativities, polarity of bond can be calculated.
