Which one of the following would you expect to have highest electronegativity?

A

Mg(atomic number 12)

B

S(atomic number 16)

C

B(atomic number 5)

D

Te(atomic number 52)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Both `""_(16)S` and, `""_(52)Te` are in Group 16 and `""_(16)S` and `""_(12)Mg` are in the same `3^(rd)` period. Since, electronegativity increases from left to right in a period and decreases from top to bottom in a group, S has highest electronegativity.
