Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belong to group 15 of the Periodic Table. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Which of these will be more electronegative? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronic configuration of Nitrogen = 2,5
Phosphorus = 2, 8,5
Nitrogen is more electronegative element because it is smaller in size hence its nucleus exerts greater force on the electrons.
