Answer 2

QUESTION -

Explain electronegativity of group 16 element

ANSWER -

The elements of group 16 higher values of electronegativity as compared to the corresponding elements of group 15 this is due to the smaller sizes electronegativity of these elements decreases down the group as the size of the atom increases.
