Question

Flourine is more electronegative than Iodine."" Give reason in support of this. [DoE]

Answer 1

Answer:

This table is the Pauling electronegativity scale. ... Because fluorine is the most electronegative element, the electrons tend to "hang out" more toward the fluorine atom when fluorine is covalently bonded to other atoms. Oxygen is the 2nd most electronegative element.
