Question

which has the greater electronegativity; n or c? n c

Explanation:

Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right in the periodic table. Carbon (C) is in group 14 and nitrogen (N) is in group 15, and they are in the same period (period 2). Since N is to the right of C in the same period, N has a greater electronegativity.

Answer:

N
