Question

The correct order of electronegativity of the given elements is

• A. B>C>N>O>F
• B. F>O>N>C>B
• C. F>N>O>C>B
• D. O>F>N>C>B

Hint:

Always remember: Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall periodic trend.
Electronegativity increases across a period (left to right) and decreases down a group.
Step 2: Arrange given elements (Period 2).
- B<C<N<O<F
(Fluorine being the most electronegative element).
Step 3: Match with options.
The correct order is F>O>N>C>B, which matches option (B).
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Electronegativity order is F>O>N>C>B.}} \]
