Which of the following atoms has the highest electronegativity? (optional) use the periodic table to answer this question

AC
BN
CO
DF

Verified Answer :

The trend of electronegativity in the periodic table is decreasing from right to left and top to bottom. In the given elements, all of these are in the row two which means, it is just a matter of arrangement of these elements. In reference with the periodic table, the arrangement in increasing order is A,B,C,D. Hence the answer is D.

Answer:

d. F

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the capacity of a chemical elemental to attract a pair of electrons towards itself, this is measured in the periodic table and the highest electronegative elements are located in the upper right corner, the element with the highest electronegativity of all is Fluorine with a 4, the next one is oxygen with 3.5, this means that from the options the one that has the highest electronegativity is D.F- Fluorine.
