Q.91Hard General Science
Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity according to the Pauling scale?
AOxygen
BChlorine
CFluorine
DNitrogen
Correct Answer:
C. Fluorine
Explanation:
Fluorine has the highest electronegativity value (3.98) on the Pauling scale. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond. As we go from fluorine down the halogen group, electronegativity decreases.
Which of the following is an example of an endothermic reaction?
ABurning of coal
BRusting of iron
CMelting of ice
DCombustion of natural gas
Correct Answer:
C. Melting of ice
Explanation:
Melting of ice is an endothermic process as it requires heat energy input to convert solid ice into liquid water. Other options are exothermic reactions that release heat.
