Question

Which is more electronegative nitrogen or chlorine?

Answer 1

Answer: Nitrogen

Explanation: The Electronegativity increases when going to the right of the periodic table. It also decreases when you go down the periodic table. Since Nitrogen is higher on the periodic table than chlorine, it is more electronegative by a slight amount. N: 3.07  Cl:  2.88

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine is more electronegative than nitrogen. Electronegativity is the tendency of an element to attract the bond pair electron towards itself. From left to right of the periodic table the electronegativity increases, due to increase in effective nuclear charge.

Electronegetivity of::

● nitrogen : 3.04

● Chlorine : 3.16
