Question

C,Li,F,N,O which of above having highest non metallic character

Answer 1

F has the highest non metallic character

Answer 2

Answer: Fluorine (F) has highest non-metallic character.

Explanation:

Non-metallic character means the tendency of an atom or element to accept electrons.

The given elements C, Li, F, N, and O all belong to second period. It is known that on moving from left to right non-metals increases, that is, non-metallic character increases.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options fluorine lies at the extreme right in the periodic table. Hence, F has highest non-metallic character.
