JEE Main 2025 Jan 22 Shift 1, Chemistry Q4: Periodicity In Atomic Properties

JEE Main2025Jan 22, Shift 1Chemistry
Q.

Which of the following electronegativity order is incorrect?

  1. A

    Al Mg B N

  2. B

    Al Si C N

  3. C

    Mg Be B N

  4. D

    S Cl O F

Solution

Approximate Pauling electronegativities: Mg , Al , B , N .

So Al () is greater than Mg (), which means the order Al Mg B N is wrong; the correct sequence is Mg Al B N.

All the other three orderings are consistent with Pauling values.
