Which of the following gives the correct order of electronegativities of elements?
|
|
F > Cl > O > H
|
|
|
Cl > O > N > S
|
|
|
O > S > H > Si
|
|
|
Cl > N > O > F
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The order of electronegativity is F>O>Cl>Br>S>I>C>P>H.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elements on the left of the periodic table have low electronegativities and are often called electropositive elements. The order of electronegativities F > O > N > C is an important property that we will use to explain the chemical properties of organic compounds.
