Fluorine is more electronegativity than ...

Fluorine is more electronegativity than nitrogen. The best explanation is that:

A

the avlence electron in F are on an average a little closer to the nucleus than in N

B

the charge of a F nucleus is +9 while that on N nucleus is +7

C

The valence electrons in F and N are in different shells and thus their energy are greatly different

D

electronegativity increase from left to right in each of the period
