Question: The electronegativity values of C,N,O and F on Pauling scale...
The electronegativity values of C,N,O and F on Pauling scale
A
Decrease from carbon to fluorine.
B
Increase from carbon to fluorine.
C
Increase upto oxygen and then decrease upto fluorine.
D
Decrease from carbon to nitrogen and then increase continuously.
Answer
Increase from carbon to fluorine.
Explanation
Solution
As size of atom decreases across the period, the attraction between the nucleus and shared pair of electrons increases. So electronegativity increases across the period.
