Question

Q.Out of N and F, which atom do you think will be more electronegative and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

F ( fluorine) will be more electronegative.

Explanation:

Order of electronegativity is,

F } O} N

F is most electronegative because it has

More power to attract electrons.

It complete it's octet by gaining one electron.

Answer 2

ANSWER:-

• F atom is more electro negative than N

REASON:-

Electronegativity is the propensity for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons while the formation of a chemical bond. An atom's electronegativity is influenced by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons occupy the charged nucleus.

• F atom is more electronegative than N because the charge on a F nucleus is +9 whereas, the charge on the nucleus is +7
• F is more electronegative because it has more power to attract electrons for completing its octet by gaining one electron.
• F has a comparatively larger atomic size than nitrogen which is why it can hold more electrons.

NOTE:-

N stands for Nitrogen and F stands for Fluorine
