Question

The electronegativity of the element affects all of the following except a- type of bond it forms with other elements b- the boiling point of its compounds c- the shape of the molecule it forms d- the ability of its compounds to dissolve in different solvents

Answer 1

The electronegativity of the element affects the ability of its compounds to dissolve in different solvents.

What is the meaning of electronegativity?

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself.

Polar bonds have a positive and negative side to them, and therefore can attract water dipoles and dissolve in water.

If the polarities of the solvent and solute match (both are polar or both are nonpolar), then the solute will probably dissolve.

If the polarities of the solvent and solute are different (one is polar, one is nonpolar), the solute probably won't dissolve.

Hence, option D is correct.
