Part A
Using the periodic table, arrange the atoms in the following set from left to right in order of decreasing electronegativity.
Rank elements from largest electronegativity to smallest electronegativity. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
F
Br
Cl
Part B
O
B
N
Part C
Mg
S
F
Electronegativity: Electronegativity is the relative ability of an element to attract electron in a bond.
The trend of electro negativity in the row of periodic table is increase from left to right side while in the column it will increase from bottom to top.
F > Cl > Br
Because in the column electro-negativity will increase from bottom to top.
B < N < O
Because electro negativity in the row of periodic table is increase from left to right side
Mg < S < F
The trend of electro negativity in the row of periodic table is increase from left to right side while in the column it will increase from bottom to top.
