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

    A) \[1.42\,\,eV\]                   

    B) \[1.89\,\,eV\]

    C) \[2.67\,\,eV\]   

    D)        \[3.22\,\,eV\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Based on Paulings scale \[{{(EN)}_{F}}={{(EN)}_{Cl}}=k\sqrt{\Delta }=0.208\sqrt{\Delta }\] where,\[\Delta =\]resonance energy and\[k=\]conversion factor which is 0.208 for converting\[k\,\,\,cal\]into\[eV\]. \[\Delta ={{(BE)}_{Cl-F}}-\sqrt{{{(BE)}_{Cl-Cl}}{{(BE)}_{F-F}}}\] \[=61-\sqrt{58\times 38}\] \[=61-46.95=14.05\,\,kcal\] \[{{(EN)}_{Cl}}={{(EN)}_{F}}-0.208\sqrt{\Delta }\] \[=4.0-0.208\sqrt{14.05}\] \[=4.0-0.78=3.22\,\,eV\]
