Answer:
ΔEN CO = 1.0
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the electronegativity difference, we have to substract the element which has the highest EN to the other, that has a low value.
For this case EN from O - EN from C
Electronegativity is a property of the periodic table that increases diagonally, where Fr and Rb are the elements of less EN while F is the most electronegative element, with a value of 4. This is because F is an element with a high ionization energy and a negative electronic affinity.
ΔEN CO = 3.5 - 2.5 = 1.0
Electronegativity (EN) describes the ability of an atom to compete for
electrons with other atoms to which it is attached.
