The correct Answer is:
To determine which order of electronegativity is incorrect, we need to analyze the provided options based on the general trends in electronegativity across the periodic table. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electronegativity**: Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond. It generally increases across a period (left to right) and decreases down a group (top to bottom). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Fluorine (F) > Chlorine (Cl) > Bromine (Br) > Iodine (I) - This order is correct. Electronegativity decreases as you move down the group. - **Option B**: Sodium (Na) < Magnesium (Mg) < Aluminum (Al) < Silicon (Si) - This order is also correct. Electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period. - **Option C**: Chlorine (Cl) > Phosphorus (P) > Silicon (Si) - This order is incorrect. Chlorine is indeed more electronegative than phosphorus, but silicon is less electronegative than phosphorus, making this order incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: Since Option C is the only incorrect order of electronegativity, the answer to the question is Option C. ### Final Answer: The incorrect order of electronegativity is **Option C: Chlorine > Phosphorus > Silicon**.
