Question

Which of the following statements are true? (Choose "True" or "False" for each statement.)
True/False  Electronegativity is a measure of the relative tendency of an atom to attract the electrons of a chemical bond in which it participates.
True/False  Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to lessen its electron density when bonded to another atom.
True/False  Non-metals generally have more negative electron affinities than metals.
True/False  Electronegativity is the amount of energy required to add an electron to a neutral atom.
True/False  Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an electron is added to an atom to form an anion with a (-1) charge.
True/False  Electronegativity values are always positive.

Answer 1

True = Electronegativity is a measure of the relative tendency of an atom to attract the electrons of a chemical bond in which it participates.

False = Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to lessen its electron density when bonded to another atom.

True = Non-metals generally have more negative electron affinities than metals.

False = Electronegativity is the amount of energy required to add an electron to a neutral atom.

True = Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an electron is added to an atom to form an anion with a (-1) charge.

False = Electronegativity values are always positive.
