Question

Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belongs to group of 15 of the periodic table. write the electronic configuration of these two elements, which of these will be more electronegative? why?​

Answer 1

electronic configuration of nitrogen is

N (7) - 2,5

P (15) - 2,8,5

nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus

Answer 2

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of nitrogen=2,5.

Electronic configuration of phosphorus=2,8,5.

Nitrogen will be more electronegative.Because it is a non-metal and it has ability to gain elecrons easily than losing electrons.(OH).
