Question

neon (ne)
carbon (c)
antimony (sb)
germanium (ge)
which of the following will have a higher electronegativity than arsenic (as)? 5/10

Explanation:

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group on the periodic - table. Arsenic (As) is in Group 15. Carbon (C) is in Group 14 and is above and to the left of As in the periodic table, so it has a higher electronegativity. Neon is a noble gas and generally does not have a defined electronegativity in the same sense as other elements. Antimony (Sb) and Germanium (Ge) are below As in the periodic table and have lower electronegativities than As.

Answer:

Carbon (C)
