Question #e37e4

Answer 1

The difference in electronegativity between silicon, `Si`, and fluorine, `F`, is equal to 2.08.

According to the Pauling electronegativity scale, silicon has an electronegativity value of 1.90. Fluorine, which is the most electronegative atom, has an electronegativity value of 3.98.

As a result, the difference between the two will be

`DeltaEN = EN_"fluorine" - EN_"silicon"`

`DeltaEN = 3.98 - 1.90 = color(green)(2.08)`
