phosphorous (P)

Verified Answer :

The first option, Fluorine (F). The is the correct asnswer that has been verified.


Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we move from left to right in a periodic table then electronegativity of atoms increases.

Nitrogen and fluorine are present in the same period. Nitrogen belongs to group 7 whereas fluorine belongs to group 9.

Thus, out of the given options electronegativity of fluorine is more as compared to nitrogen.
