Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 1, i.e. Fluorine.
- Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
- As we move right in a period, the electronegativity keeps increasing up to the halogens.
- This is because the number of electrons keeps increasing in the same valence shell so hold of the nucleus on the electrons is tight.
- And as we move down in a group, the electronegativity decreases. This is due to the fact that the number of shells keeps increasing down the group so the hold of the nucleus on the valence electron(s) keeps decreasing.
- Since Flourine is the first member of the halogen family (the rightmost group before noble gases), therefore it is the most electronegative element.
