Question

Arrange the elements in order of increasing electronegativity. Use the periodic table to help you arrange the elements.

Answer 1

Silicon, chlorine , sulfur , phosphorus

Answer 2

The question is incomplete, the elements to be arranged as required are shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

K<Mg<P<O

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an element in a compound to attract the shared electrons of a bond towards itself. Atoms of highly electronegative elements tend to polarize a covalent bond leading to polar covalent bonds and dipole moments. Electronegativity increases across the period but decreases down the group hence the arrangement of elements in the answer provided above.
