MCQ
The outer most electronic configuration of the most electronegative element is:
- A$\ce{ns^2 np^3}$
- B$\ce{ns^2 np^4}$
- ✓$\ce{ns^2 np^5}$
- D$\ce{ns^2 np^6}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\ce{ns^2 np^5}$
Halogens are most electronegative.
Therefore outer electronic configuration is $\ce{ns^2 np^5}.$
Therefore outer electronic configuration is $\ce{ns^2 np^5}.$
