8.(a) Arrange as directed.
Increasing electronegativity Si, N, P, C
Solution:
Electronegativity increases across the period and decreases down the group.
So, the order for the given elements is:
Si < P < C < N
Electronegativity increases across the period and decreases down the group.
So, the order for the given elements is:
Si < P < C < N
