Ethanol (C2H6O) is a polar molecule containing a methyl group and a primary alcohol. The electronegativity of a carbon atom is 2.5, hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen is 3.5. Summing up the electronegativity of the two groups and finding the difference gives an electronegativity value of 3.5 for ethyl alcohol.

What element has the lowest electronectivity?

Francuim is thought to have the lowest electro-negativity.Linus Pauling estimated that francium had the same electro-negativity as Caesium = 0.7. The electro-negativity of caesium was later revised to 7.9 but francium is so unstable and reactive that it is not possible to obtain samples of pure francium to accurately determine its electro-negativity.


Are alcohols aromatic or aliphatic?

Alcohols can be either aromatic or aliphatic. Aromatic alcohols contain a benzene ring in their structure, while aliphatic alcohols do not have a benzene ring and are typically straight-chain or branched-chain molecules.


What is the electro negativity difference of bromide?

The electronegativity difference of bromide (Br) is 0.97. The electronegativity of bromine is 2.96 and the electronegativity of chlorine is 3.93.


Does the NH3 molecule contain polar bonds?

Yes Because the electro-negativity number of N is 3.0 - the electro-negativity number of H is 2.1 =.09 If two elements have an electro-negativity number between 0.5 and 2.1, it has a polar bond. Another way is that N and H are both non-metal and they have an unequal share of electron so it is a polar covalent bond.


What can be deduced about the electronegativity of hydrogen relative to that of nitrogen?

The electro negativity of Nitrogen is 3.04 and the electro negativity of Hydrogen is 2.10. If you subtract the two numbers, you will have the electro negativity difference.Eg3.04 - 2.10= 0.94This works for all of the elements on the periodic table the same way.

What is the ease of solubility in monohydricalcohols?

Most of the compounds soluble in water are also soluble in methyl and ethyl alcohols but as the no of carbon of monohydric alcohols increases the solubility of polar compounds becomes decreased.
