The most electronegative element among the following is
-
- Fluorine
- Sodium
- Chlorine
- Oxygen
- Fluorine
Correct Option: A
Electronegativity of the elements using the Pauling Scale is as follows: Fluorine: 3.98, Oxygen: 3.44, Chlorine: 3.16, and Sodium: 0.93. Electronegativity increases down the group and decreases down the period.
