Q17 / 180 · KCET 2012 · Chemistry

The correct order of electronegativities of $\mathrm{N}, \mathrm{O}$, $F$ and $P$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{P}>\mathrm{N}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{P}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{P}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{P}>\mathrm{O}$

Solution

Electronegativity
