The Electronegativity Of The Following Elements Increases In The Order Chemistry Question

The electronegativity of the following elements increases in the order

Options

(a) C, N, Si ,P
(b) N, Si, C, P
(c) Si, P, C, N
(d) P, Si, N, C

Correct Answer:

Si, P, C, N

Explanation:

On moving along a period from left to right in periodic table, electrnegativity increases ( due to decrease in size). While on moving downward in a group, electronegativity decreases.
Thus, the correct order of electronegaticity is
Si > P > C > N
(1.8) (2.1) (2.5) (3.0)
