Options

A. Maximum electronegativity: Y
B. Maximum catenation property:X
C. Maximum electron affinity: Z
D. Y exhibits variable covalency

Answer

D

Explanation

`{:("W: Phosphorus","Y: Oxygen","X: Sulphur","Z: Chlorine"),("Electronegativity:",O gt Cl gt S gt P, "Catenation:",S gt P gt O gt Cl),("Electron affinity:",Cl gt O gt S gt P,"Oxygen exhibits covalency of two only",):}`
