Paragraph for question nos. 3 to 4
In 1931, Pauling defined electronegativity of an atom as the tendency of the atom to attract
shared electron (bond pair) towards itself when combined in compound. It is a unit less &
dimensionsless quantity. If two atoms have similar electronegativities, the bond between them
is largely covalent. But when difference between the electronegativity is large, the bond has
high degree of polar character. Pauling's approach for obtaining values of electronegativity is
explained as pauling scale and given as:
XA − XB = 0.208√ΔA−B (when energies are expressed in kcalmol−1 )
