Identify the most electronegative element by the following.

Options

  1. AOxygen
  2. BNitrogen
  3. CFluorine
  4. DChlorine

Correct answer

C. Fluorine

Step-by-step solution

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself. According to the Pauling scale, the electronegativity values of the given elements are: Fluorine: 4.0 Oxygen: 3.5 Nitrogen: 3.0 Chlorine: 3.0 Fluorine has the highest electronegativity among all elements in the periodic table. Answer: Fluorine
