    The  outermost  configuration  of most electronegative element is:

    A)  \[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{5}}\]    

    B)                         \[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{6}}\]               

    C)         \[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{4}}\]               

    D)         \[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In any period, halogens are most electronegative elements (VII A group or 17 group). Halogens have seven electrons in their outermost shell. They readily gain one electron to complete their octet. Electronic configuration of halogens is, \[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{5}}\].
