JEE MainChemistryPeriodic Table and PeriodicityMCQ+4 / −1
The correct order of electronegativity for given elements is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Use periodic trend of electronegativity
Electronegativity generally:- increases across a period from left to right
- decreases down a group
-
Identify approximate electronegativities
The given elements are:- (bromine)
- (carbon)
- (astatine)
- (phosphorus)
Approximate Pauling electronegativities are:
-
Arrange in decreasing order
Therefore, -
Check the options
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
-
Final answer
The correct order is: So, the correct option is B.
