Pauling's equation for determining the e...

Pauling's equation for determining the electronegativity of an element, is (`X_(A), X_(B)` are electronegativity value of elements A and B respectively, `Delta` represents the polarity of A-B bond.)

A

`X_A - X_B = 0.208 sqrtDelta`

B

`X_A + X_B = 0.208 sqrtDelta`

C

`X_A - X_B = 0.208 Delta^2`

D

`X_A - X_B = sqrtDelta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to Pauling, `X_A - X_B = 0.208 sqrt(Delta)`
`or, X_A - X_B = 0.208 [ E_(A-B) - (E_(A-A) xx E_(B-B))^(1//2)]^(1//2)`
