Question

rank the following elements by increasing electronegativity: sulfur, oxygen, neon, aluminum

Answer 1

-->aluminum, sulfur, oxygen, neon<--

sulfur: 2.58
oxygen: 3.44
neon: 4.78
aluminum 1.61

Answer 2

Look at your periodic table. Electronegativity increases as you move \(\uparrow\) and as you move \(\rightarrow\) on the periodic table. Fluorine is the most electronegative, with a n assigned value of about 4.1 you can judge or approximate the strength of electronegativity by seeing how close each atom is to fluorine.

Answer 3

smallest to biggest: Al, S, O, Ne
