Classification Of Elements And Periodicity In Properties Ques 72
Question: Arrange F, Cl, O, N in the decreasing order of electronegativity
Options:
A) $ O>F>N>Cl $
B) $ F>N>Cl>O $
C) $ Cl>F>N>O $
D) $ F>O>N,> $ $ Cl $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Electronegativity increases on going from left to right in a period. Thus electronegativity of $ F>O>N>Cl $ .
