The electronegativity 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
Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period and decreases from top to bottom in a group. Variation is more rapid in a group than in a period. Hence electronegativity : Si < P < C < N

Metals have few electrons in their valence shell while non-metals generally have more electrons in their valence shell. Metallic character is closely related to atomic radius and ionisation enthalpy. Metallic character increases from top to bottom in a group and decreases from let to right in a period of periodic table. metallic character is inversely related to electronegativity of element. Q.
