Group 1 elements have an average electronegativity of 0.84 (not
including hydrogen). Group 17
elements have an average
electronegativity of 2.99. These two groups often form bonds. Given this
information, which kind of bond will they likely form (ionic or covalent),
and what evidence supports your claim? If it is ionic, then include which
group gives up its electron to the other group. In three to five sentences,
explain your reasoning. (4 points)


Sagot :

A) The bond that will be formed by these elements is : Ionic Bond

B) Group 1 elements Gives up its electron to Group 17 elements

Electronegativity values

From the electronegativity values given in the question group 17 elements with an electronegativity value of 2.99 are more electronegative than group 1 elements with a value of 0.84. Therefore they accept electron transfer from group 1 elements.

The acceptance of electrons from group 17 elements leads to formation of an ionic bond between group 1 and group 17.

Hence we can conclude that the bond that will be formed by these elements is Ionic bond  and Group 1 elements gives up its electron to group 17 elements.
