MCQ
The electronegativity of the following elements increases in the order
  • A
    $C < N < Si < P$
  • $Si < P < C < N$
  • C
    $N < C < P < Si$
  • D
    $C < Si < N < P$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Si < P < C < N$
b
The electronegativities of $C , N, Si$ and $P$ are in the order of $Si\,<\, P \,<\, C\, <\, N$

In a period, electronegativity increases from left to right.

In a group, the electronegativity decreases down the group.
