Answer:
C. Cs < K < P
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the basically the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. The pauling scale is used to quantify electronegativity, the most electronegative element; fluorine has a value of 4.0 and francium, the least electronegative element has a value of 0.7
The electronegative values of the following elements are given as;
K = 0.82
Cs =0.79
P = 2.19
Arranging in order of increasing electronegativity, we have;
Cs < K < P. The correct option is;
C. Cs < K < P
