Question -

How would you react to the statement that the electronegativity of N on the Pauling scale is 3.0 in all the nitrogen compounds?



Answer -

Electronegativity is a variable property of any element. Electronegativity is different for different compounds. Hence, the given statement “The electronegativity of Nitrogen on Pauling scale measures 3.0 for all nitrogen compounds” is incorrect. This is because the electronegativity of Nitrogen is different in NO2 and NH3.
