question_answer
Ionisation energy and electron affinity of fluorine are respectively \[17.42\,eV\] and \[3.45\,\,eV\], then electronegativity of F atom on pauling scale will be
A) \[10.44\]
B) \[4.0\]
C) \[3.72\]
D) \[2.92\]
Correct Answer:
C
Solution :
According to Pauling scale, \[EN=\frac{I.E.+E.A.}{5.6}=\frac{17.42+3.42}{5.6}=3.72eV\]
