Which element in each of the following pairs is more electronegative? (a) Li or $\mathrm{H}$ (b) B or Br (c) Clorl (d) C or H
Added by Paula M.
Step 1
Step 1: In the pair (a) Li or $\mathrm{H}$, lithium (Li) is more electronegative than hydrogen (H) because electronegativity decreases from top to bottom in a group on the periodic table. Show more…
