MCQ
The elements $X,\,Y$ and $Z$ forms oxides which are acidic, basic and amphoteric respectively, then correct order of their electronegativities is
- A$X > Y > Z$
- B$Z > Y > X$
- ✓$X > Z > Y$
- D$Y > X > Z$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$X > Z > Y$
c
Non metal oxides are acidic and $EN \propto $ non metallic character
Non metal oxides are acidic and $EN \propto $ non metallic character
hence $EN$ of $X$ is maximum
