Which is the correct order of electronegativity ?

Question

Which is the correct order of electronegativity ? (A) F > N < O > C (B) F > N > O > C (C) F < N < O < C (D) F > O > N > C

Electronegativity increases across a period with increase in atomic number. Hence fluorine is most electronegative and carbon is least electronegative.

Q. Which is the correct order of electronegativity ?

F > N < O > C

F > N > O > C

F < N < O < C

F > O > N > C

Electronegativity increases across a period with increase in atomic number. Hence fluorine is most electronegative and carbon is least electronegative.
