Phosphorus, sulphur and chlorine are electronegative elements of the periodic table. Give reasons.

Answer»

The three non-metallic elements P, S and Cl are present at the end of period 3 in the modern periodic table. Along a period nuclear charge increases while atomic size decreases. Both of these factors increase the electronegativity. Thus these elements have highest electronegativity.
