Identify the element with lowest electronegativity.

A
O
Correct answer
B
$\cdot \mathrm{S}$
C
F
D
Cl

Solution

Electronegativity of an element increases across a period and decreases down the group. Hence, among the given, electronegativity of sulphur is the least.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
