Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer From left to right, the order is Li, Be, B, C, N and their electronegativities respectively are 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 which is in the increasing order.
Detailed explanation-2: -The key difference between beryllium and lithium is that beryllium is a white-grey metal that is diamagnetic, whereas lithium is a silvery-grey metal that is paramagnetic. Both beryllium and lithium are in the same period, period 2. However, they are in two different groups in the periodic table.
Detailed explanation-3: -The electronegativity of beryllium is 1.5. >
Detailed explanation-4: -The electronegativity of lithium is 0.98. It is not very electronegative but is considered very reactive.
