The electronegativity of aluminum is similar to:
Options
- ABeryllium
- BBoron
- CCarbon
- DLithium
Correct answer
A. Beryllium
Step-by-step solution
E N of A l = 1.61 E N of B e = 1.57 E N of B = 2.04 E N of C = 2.55 Due to diagonal relationship between B e and A l , they exhibit similar properties and thus, have similar electronegativity values.
