The electronnegativity of the following elements increases in the order

A

`C,N,Si,P`

B

`N,Si,C,P`

C

`Si, P,C,N`

D

`P,Si,N,C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`EN` decreases down the group `(darr)` but increases along the period `(rarr)`.
Therefore, increasing order of EN's is `Si lt P lt C lt N`.
`|{:(,Si lt,P lt,C lt,N),("Group",14,15,14,15),("Period",3rd,3rd,2nd,2nd):}|`
