Question:medium

Calculate the electronegativity of chlorine from bond energy of Cl-F bond (61 kcal mol\(^{-1}\)), F-F (38 kcal mol\(^{-1}\)) and Cl-Cl bond (58 kcal mol\(^{-1}\)) and electronegativity of fluorine 4.0 eV

Show Hint

Pauling scale: \(\chi_F = 4.0\), \(\chi_{Cl} = 3.16\) (standard), close to 3.22.
