Question

Rank the following elements by increasing electron negativity: s,o,Ne,Al

Answer 1

Ne < Al < S < O

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the property that combines the ability of its atom to lose and gain electrons.

It is the relative tendency with which the atoms of the elements attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

• Noble gases generally have zero electronegativity due to their stable configuration.
• Metals also have low electronegativity due to their size and the number of electrons they possess.
• Down a group, electronegativity decreases.

From the Pauling's table of electronegativity:

 Ne = 0

 Al = 1.5

 S = 2.5

 O = 3.5
