Which of the following arrangement of elements is in decreasing order of electronegativity?

  • A. Na, Mg, Al, Si, P
  • B. Na, Al, Mg, P, Si
  • C. P, Mg, Na, Si, Al
  • D. P, Si, Al, Mg, Na

Correct Answer: D. P, Si, Al, Mg, Na

Explanation

- Reactivity series is K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Pb > H > Cu > Hg > Ag > Au.

-Very Electropositive Metals Most active metals have low electronegativities
