Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
Let electronegativity, ionisation energy and electron affinity be represented as EN, IP and EA respectively. Which one of the following equation is correct according to Mulliken?
Options
- AEN = IP EA
- BEN = IP EA
- CEN = IP + EA 2
- DEN = IP - EA
Correct answer
C. EN = IP + EA 2
Step-by-step solution
Mulliken suggested that EN of an element is the average of its IP and EA.
