Q
Q: What is the primary reason for the high electronegativity of hydrogen compared to alkali metals?
Solution:
Hydrogen has a small atomic radius, which allows it to attract electrons more effectively than larger alkali metals.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what electronegativity means. It is a measure of how strongly an atom can attract electrons.
Step 2: Know that hydrogen is a small atom, meaning it has a small atomic radius.
Step 3: Recognize that smaller atoms can get closer to other atoms, allowing them to attract electrons more effectively.
Step 4: Compare hydrogen to alkali metals, which are larger atoms with a bigger atomic radius.
Step 5: Conclude that because hydrogen is smaller, it can attract electrons better than the larger alkali metals.
