To rank the elements Se (Selenium), Ba (Barium), Fr (Francium), and Cl (Chlorine) from greatest to least electronegativity, we can refer to their electronegativity values based on Pauling's scale.
The typical electronegativity values for these elements are:
- Cl (Chlorine): 3.16
- Se (Selenium): 2.55
- Ba (Barium): 0.89
- Fr (Francium): 0.7 (Francium is often considered to have the lowest electronegativity due to its position in Group 1 and the fact that it's highly reactive.)
Based on these values, we can rank the elements as follows:
1. Cl (Chlorine) - Greatest Electronegativity
2. Se (Selenium)
3. Ba (Barium)
4. Fr (Francium) - Least Electronegativity
So the final ranking from greatest to least electronegativity is: Cl > Se > Ba > Fr.
The typical electronegativity values for these elements are:
- Cl (Chlorine): 3.16
- Se (Selenium): 2.55
- Ba (Barium): 0.89
- Fr (Francium): 0.7 (Francium is often considered to have the lowest electronegativity due to its position in Group 1 and the fact that it's highly reactive.)
Based on these values, we can rank the elements as follows:
1. Cl (Chlorine) - Greatest Electronegativity
2. Se (Selenium)
3. Ba (Barium)
4. Fr (Francium) - Least Electronegativity
So the final ranking from greatest to least electronegativity is: Cl > Se > Ba > Fr.
