MDCAT Chemistry MCQ #1743

  1. Question 1

    Q1. A researcher measuring the relative attraction for shared electrons finds that Fluorine has the highest value on the Pauling scale. This value is:

    • A) 2.1
    • B) 3.0
    • C) 3.5
    • D) 4.0

    Answer: 4.0

    Explanation: Fluorine is the most electronegative element at 4.0. Option A fails because 2.1 is the electronegativity of hydrogen, not a halogen.
