Best Answer

You can only get the EN (electronegativity) of elements (not for molecules, such as CCl4). For molecules you want DIFFERENCE IN EN. Easiest way is to look up the values in the chart. C = 2.5 , Cl = 3.0 so difference is 0.5 General idea is that EN increases left to right in the chart and decreases top to bottom in the periodic table. F (4.0) being the highest and Fr(0.7) being lowest

Does CCl4 contain both ionic and covalent bonds?

CCl4 is a covalent bond. Their difference in electronegativity isn't that great


What is more polar NH3 or CCl4 and why?

CCl4 is more polar. Electronegativity difference between C and H = 0.5 whereas C and Cl = 0.6 Therefore, CCl4 has a slightly stronger pull towards Cl.


Balance the following equation and determine the mole ratio of Cl2 to CCl4. CS2 plus Cl2 CCl4 plus S2Cl2?

This chemical reaction is:CS2 + 3 Cl2 = CCl4 + S2Cl2


Does the color of an element determine an atoms electronegativity?

no the color doesn't have anything to do with the electronegativity


Does the color of an element determine the atom's electronegativity?

no the color doesn't have anything to do with the electronegativity


Can electronegativity be factor to determine the activity series of a metal?

There is a possibility that electronegativity can determine the activity series. This activity could knock ions out of solution and ranking in a series.


What is the molecule count of 567g of CCl4?

1 mole CCl4 = 153.811g CCl4 = 6.022 x 1023 molecules CCl4 567g CCl4 x (6.022 x 1023 molecules CCl4)/153.811g CCl4 = 2.22 x 1024 molecules CCl4


How is electronegativity used to determine bond types?

If the electronegativity difference is less than 2, then covalent bonds are formed. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2, then ionic bonds are formed.


Why dipole moment is zero in non polar molecules non zero in polar molecules?

The dipole moment is zero in nonpolar molecules and non-zero in polar molecules due to electronegativity. Polar molecules have balanced electronegativity that will cancel one another out, while nonpolar molecules have unbalanced electronegativity causing dipole moments.


How do electronegativity values determine the charge distribution in a polar in a polar covalent bond?

In a bond if the electronegativity is stonger in an atom then it gains a negative charge and the atom with the weaker electronegativity gains a posotive charge.
