The ionization potentials of atoms A and B are 400 and 300 kcal/mol respectively. The electron affinities of these atoms are 80 and 85 kcal/mol respectively. Which of the atoms is more electronegative?
996yeah i also think answer is A
Swarna Kamal Dhyawala @Sreya- The energy required for losing electons is called ionization potential ...so more energy will be required for an electonegative atom, to lose electon similarly u can see for electron affinity150How?
Hardik Sheth the ea of 'a' mite be less coz of electronic repulsions..and ders a formula to calc en frm above data..dnt rememba!
