Question:
The element with highest electronegativity after fluorine is:
The element with highest electronegativity after fluorine is:
Show Hint
Electronegativity order (Pauling scale): F>O>Cl>N>Br
Updated On: May 17, 2025
- Nitrogen
- Oxygen
- Chlorine
- Bromine
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The electronegativity order based on the Pauling scale is:
\[
\text{F (4.0)}>\text{O (3.5)}>\text{Cl (3.0)}>\text{N (3.0)}>\text{Br (2.8)}
\]
So after fluorine, oxygen has the highest electronegativity.
