Study Notes
Electronegativity
- Chlorine (Cl) has the highest electronegativity among the given options. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
Molecular Geometry of CH₄
- The molecular geometry of CH₄ is tetrahedral. This arrangement minimizes repulsion between bonding electron pairs.
Characteristics of Covalent Bonds
- A characteristic not of a covalent bond is the involvement of metal atoms. Covalent bonds form between nonmetals by sharing electrons.
Oxidation State of Sulfur in H₂SO₄
- The oxidation state of sulfur in H₂SO₄ is +6.
Periodic Table
- Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties. Groups are vertical columns on the periodic table.
- Atomic radius generally decreases across a period.
- Electronegativity generally increases across a period and decreases down a group.
- Ionization energy generally increases across a period and decreases down a group.
