Question

Which of the following has highest electronegativity?a)F b)Clc)Br d)I

Answer 1

Answer:

b- Cl....................................

Answer 2

a) Fluorine (F) has the highest electronegativity.

Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons to itself. The higher the electronegativity, the more an atom will pull electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.

Fluorine has an electronegativity of 4.0 on the Pauling scale, which is the most commonly used scale for measuring electronegativity.

• Chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0
• Bromine has an electronegativity of 2.8
• Iodine has an electronegativity of 2.5

In general, electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period (row) on the periodic table, and decreases as you move down a group (column). Fluorine is located in the same group and period as Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine but Fluorine is the most electronegative element among them.
