Question

Part A R. S. Mulliken proposed that the electronegativity (chi) of an atom is given by chi = k x (I - EA) where I and EA are the ionization energy and electron affinity of the atom, respectively. Part A Using the electron affinities and ionization energy values for the halogen atoms up to iodine, estimate the value of k by employing the electronegativity values in Figurel10-6 in the textbook. Express your answer using two significant figures. Part B Estimate the electron affinity of At. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

Part A: Calculated k value for halogen average is,

3.46 x 10^-3

Part B : Electronegativity for At would be thus,

263.30
