    Which one of the following is the most electronegative element configuration?

    A)  \[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{5}}\]

    B)  \[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{1}}\]

    C)  \[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}\]

    D)  \[I{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}\text{ }2{{p}^{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Fluorine is the most electronegative element. Its atomic number is nine and hence its configuration is as\[F(9)=1\,{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{5}}\] Due to its configuration, it has maximum effective nuclear charge, hence it shows maximum electro negativity.
