Atomic and physical properties

Question

Electronegativity of elements of group 13 decreases from B to Al and then increases marginally because of discrepancies in

Moderate

A

atomic radii
B

electrons in valence shell
C

protons in nuclei
D

all of these

Solution

The size of the atom is inversely related to the electronegativity, the electronegativity is found to be decreasing as we move from B to Al and then increases further due to poor shielding effect. This is also known as discrepancies in the atomic size of the element.
