Arrange the elements As, Cl, and S in order of increasing electronegativity .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As is located to the right of S and Cl in the periodic table, so it has the highest electronegativity. S is located below Cl and to the left of As, so it has the lowest electronegativity. Therefore, the correct order from lowest to highest electronegativity is As < S < Cl.
