Question

why fluorine is more electronegative than iodine?

Answer 1

Since fluorine is smaller than chlorine, the attractive forces between the nucleus and the outermost shell or the Valence shell is more stronger as compared to that in chlorine and hence Fluorine is more electronegative than Chlorine...

Hope this helps you..
Good Luck ✌️✌️
