Detailed explanation-1: -16) Carbon(2.55) has higher electronegativity than As(2.18). Hence, carbon has greater tendency to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself as compared to As.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since bromine is to the right of arsenic, bromine has a greater electronegativity than arsenic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. In general, electronegativity increases on passing from left to right along a period and decreases on descending a group. So, O has the highest electronegativity as compared to other elements.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fluorine has an electronegativity value of 4.0 and Carbon has an electronegativity value of 2.5. This is telling us that Fluorine is much more electronegative than Carbon.
Detailed explanation-5: -Which element is most electronegative among Arsenic, Nitrogen and Phosphorus? All these elements have equal electronegativity.
