Question

Which set shows correct trend of increasing electronegativity?
Options
A Na < K < Li
B K < Na < Li
Correct Answer
C Li < K < Na
D Na < Li < K
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electronegativity generally decreases down a group. For Group 1 elements (alkali metals), electronegativity decreases from top to bottom: Li has the highest, then Na, then K. Therefore, the increasing order is K < Na < Li.

Hint

Recall the trend in electronegativity down a group. Which element at the top is most electronegative?
