Question

18 (iv) Identify the reason for the gradual change in electronegativity in halogens
down the group
.
a) Electronegativity increases down the group due to decrease in atomic
size
b) Electronegativity decreases down the group due to decrease in
tendency to lose electrons
c) Electronegativity decreases down the group due to increase in atomic
radius/ tendency to gain electron decreases
d) Electronegativity increases down the group due to increase in forces of
attractions between nucleus & valence electrons
​

Answer 1

Answer:

elctronegativity decreases down the group due to the.increase increase in.forces of attraction of nucleas and valence electrons
