Q. The correct order of electronegativity of $N , O , F$ and $P$ is.

Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

The correct order of electronegativities of $N , O , F \& P$ is $F > O > N > P$.
In a period, electronegativity increases from left to right. Hence, $N < O < F$.
In a group, electronegativity decreases down the group. Hence, $N>P$.
