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.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>The term pH, which originally stood for "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen"), is used in chemistry to describe how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. Lower pH values are summarized for acidic solutions (solutions with higher H+ ion concentrations) than for basic or alkaline solutions.
The pH scale is inversely indicates to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and is logarithmic.
⇒pH = -log()
Acidic solutions are those with a pH below 7, and basic solutions are those with a pH above 7, at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). At this temperature, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral (e.g. pure water). The pH neutrality relies on temperature, falling below 7 if the temperature rises above 25 °C.
