1.	The correctorder of electronegativitiesof N, O , Fand P is
Answer» `F gt N gt P gt O` `F gt O gt P gt N` `F gt O gt N gt P ` `N gt O gt F gt P` SOLUTION :Electronegativity (EN)increasesalong aperiodthereforeEN of N, O ,Fdecreases in the ORDER: `F gt O gt N` FurtherENdecreasesdown a GROUP , thereforeEN of `N gt P`. Thereforethe overall ENOF thefouratomsdecrease in the order `: F gt O gt N gt P.`
