MCQ
If the ionization enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy of an element are $275$ and  $86\, kcal\, mol^{-1}$ respectively, then the electronegativity of the element on the  Pauling scale is 
  • $2.8$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $2.6$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2.8$
a
$(a) \,I.E. + E. A. = 275 + 86 = 361 \,kcal\, mol^{-1}$
                          $= 361 \times 4.184 = 1510.42 \,kJ \,mol^{-1}$

$\therefore$ Electroneganvity $= \frac{1510.42}{540} = 2.797 = 2.8$
