30. As the difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms increases, the polarity of the bond
The greater the difference in electronegativity between two bonded atoms, the more polar the bond. A large difference leads to a significant separation of charge, creating a dipole.
The correct option is (b) increases*.
31. Which of the following physical properties decreases down a group in the periodic table?
a) atomic radius*: Increases down a group due to the addition of new electron shells.
b) ionic radius*: Increases down a group for the same reason as atomic radius.
c) electronegativity*: Decreases down a group because the valence electrons are further from the nucleus and
