An element has an electronegatitity of 2.6. Which of the following statement is incorrect?
1. It will form polar covlent bonds with bromine
2. It will form n covlent bonds with carbon
3. It will form ionic bonds with potassium.
4. It is a metal and will transfer electrons to a non metal
The correct answer is: 3. It will form ionic bonds with potassium.
An element with an electronegativity of 2.6 is not likely to form ionic bonds with potassium, as potassium has an electronegativity of 0.8, which is significantly lower. Ionic bonds typically form between elements with a large electronegativity difference.
