MCQ
Pauling's electronegativity values for elements are useful in predicting
  • Polarity of bonds in molecules
  • B
    Position of elements in electrochemical series
  • C
    Co-ordination number
  • D
    Dipole moment of various molecules

Answer

Correct option: A.
Polarity of bonds in molecules
a
Pauling introduced the electronegativity concept. He introduced the idea that the ionic character of a bond varies with the difference in electronegativity. A large difference in electronegativity leads to a bond with high degree of polar character, I.e. the bond is predominantly ionic or vice versa.
