The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following concepts has no unit, we can analyze the properties mentioned in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electronegativity**: - Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. - Since it is a relative measure of this tendency, it does not have a physical dimension or unit associated with it. 2. **Analyzing Other Concepts**: - **Ionization Energy**: This is the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom. It is measured in electron volts (eV) or kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol), which means it has units. - **Electron Gain Enthalpy**: This is the energy change when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom. It is also measured in electron volts (eV) or kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol), indicating that it has units as well. - **Enthalpy**: Generally refers to the total heat content of a system, and it also has units (e.g., joules or kilojoules). 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the properties discussed, only electronegativity is unitless. Therefore, the answer to the question is that electronegativity has no unit. ### Final Answer: Electronegativity has no unit. ---
