When the elements in each pair are chemically combined which element in each pair has a greater attraction for electrons A) Ca or O B) O or F C) H or O D) K or S?
Answers: oxygen, fluorine, oxygen, sulfur.
Does OF2 Have a noble gas structure?
Yes it does. Each fluorine shares one electron with oxygen. So fluorine as well as oxygen will have 8 valence electrons.
What is the element with the increases the highest electronegativity value?
The element with the highest electronegativity is fluorine (F, #9). This is due to fluorine's high number of valence electrons (7) which are relatively close to the nucleus (energy level 2), so the attraction between nucleus and electrons is about as strong as it can be.
How do you tell the the reactive of a non metal on the periodic table?
The reactivity of a nonmetal is measured by a quantity known as electronegativity, meaning the degree of attraction for electrons (you might think that this would be called electropositivity, but since electrons have a negative charge, elements that attract them will also tend to acquire negative charges, hence, an attraction for electrons is a tendency toward the negative). The most reactive nonmetals, in order, are fluorine, oxygen, and chlorine.
What is the word for strong attraction to electrons as do the atoms of oxygen and hydrogen.?
electronegativity, i believe
Which has a greater attraction for electrons Ca or O?
Oxygen has a much greater attraction for electrons than calcium does.
Which atoms has the greatest attraction for electrons A. Carbon B. Fluorine C. Iodine D. Oxygen?
Fluorine.
When the elements in each pair are chemically combined which element in each pair has a greater attraction for electrons A) Ca or O B) O or F C) H or O D) K or S?
Answers: oxygen, fluorine, oxygen, sulfur.
Why is fluorine smaller than oxygen?
Even though Fluorine comes after Oxygen, it is smaller due to the fact that it has more protons. Therefore, the electrons in Fluorine have a tighter orbit than the electrons in Oxygen. Electrons dictate atomic size.
Which of the following elements has the least atrraction for electrons in a chemical bond nitrogen fluorine oxygen chlorine?
Nitrogen is least electronegative so it has least attraction.
Why oxygen forms positive charge with fluorine?
Because fluorine has greater electronegativity than oxygen.
What is true about both fluorine and oxygen that allow them to pull hard on electrons?
Fluorine and oxygen are non metals. They pull hard the electrons.
Which element has a full energy level of only 2 electrons helium oxygen fluorine?
fluorine
What is the element for 1s22s22p5?
Fluorine (F) with 7 outermost electrons
What elements would have the greatest attraction for electrons. Boron or Oxygen or Sulfur?
oxygen
What is the reaction of fluorine with contact of water?
A displacement reaction,since due to greater electronegativity(greater affinity for hydrogen) fluorine displaces oxygen.
Does OF2 Have a noble gas structure?
Yes it does. Each fluorine shares one electron with oxygen. So fluorine as well as oxygen will have 8 valence electrons.
