Which of the following is the second most electronegative element?

A

Chlorine

B

Oxygen

C

Sulphur

D

Fluorine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In general, electronegatovity increases across the period and decreases on movining doen the group. `O` and `F` belong to the `2nd` peirod while `S` and `C1` belong to the third period:
`F = (4.0) gt O (3.5) gt C1(3.0) gt S (2.5)`
