Question

Electronegativities of the elements Na, Al, P, and Cl follow a specific trend across the period. Based on this trend, an electron will be most strongly attracted to

Answer 1

Hey there !

______________________________________________

So when we move from left to right across a period...

- The electronegativity of the elements increases as the Z effective increases...

- This means in any period the halogens will have maximum electronegativity and the element of first group ( hydrogen and alkali metals) will have minimum electronegativity..

¤ So, hence from these elements : No, Al, P and Cl...
Chlorine will have maximum electronegativity ..due to high zeff.. Which means it has high capacity to attract electrons..

- So as chlorine is having high electronegativity.. An electron will be
Most strongly attracted to chlorine!
