    Correct order representing electro negativities of halogens is

    A)  \[F<Cl<Br<I\]  

    B)  \[F>Cl>Br>I\]

    C)  \[F>Cl<Br<I\]  

    D)  \[F<Cl>Br>I\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The value of electronegativity decreases down the group from fluorine to iodine because the atomic size increases and the effective nuclear charge decreases. Hence, the correct order of electro negativities of halogens is \[F>Cl>Br>I\]
