The electronegativity order of the following elements is

  1. A \(\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{S}>\mathrm{Te}>1\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{S}>\mathrm{Te}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{S}>\mathrm{Te}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{S}>\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{Te}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{S}>\mathrm{Te}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electronegativity is inversely proportional to the atomic size. Smaller the size, greater is the electronegativity. Nitrogen is placed in second period, so it has smallest size and highest electronegativity. Then, iodine belongs to halogen family which are electronegative…
