Which of the following elements is the least electronegative?A. `S`B. `Cl`C. `Br`D. `Se` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D For the respesentative elements, electro0negativity values ussually increase from left to right across periods (because of decrease of atomic size on account of increase of `Z_(eff))` and decrease from top to bottom within groups (because of increase of atomic size on account of increase in the number of shells). Thus, the order of increasing electronegativity is `Se lt S lt Br lt CI` `{:(2.4,2.5,2.8,3.0,):}` |
