easy · MCAT chem-phys
A biochemist analyzes the polarity of the C-N bond in an amino acid.
Which atom is more electronegative, and what is the underlying periodic trend?
- Nitrogen is more electronegative because electronegativity increases from left to right across a period.
- Carbon is more electronegative because it can form four bonds while Nitrogen typically forms three.
- Nitrogen is more electronegative because it has a larger atomic radius, providing more surface area for bonding.
- Carbon is more electronegative because it has fewer electron shells than Nitrogen.
