Which of the following has the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms?
A group 1 alkali metal bonded to iodide, such as NaI .
A diatomic gas, such as nitrogen ( N2 ).
Carbon bonded to a group 6A (16) nonmetal chalcogen, such as in CO
A strong acid made of hydrogen and a halogen, such as HCl

Respuesta :

A group 1 alkali metal bonded to iodide, such as NaI has  the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms and is denoted as option A.

What is Electronegativity?

This is defined as the tendency of atoms to attract electrons thereby leading to a chemical reaction. On the other hand, electropositivity is the tendency of atoms to donate electrons in a reaction.

The Electronegativity value of iodine is 2.66 which is more than the remaining options provided such as nitrogen etc.

This is therefore the reason why group 1 alkali metal bonded to iodide was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
