Which of the following statement is correct
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:
Electronegativity in halogens follows: F > Cl > Br > I, so A is correct.
Electron affinity is highest for Cl (due to less e⁻–e⁻ repulsion than F), so Cl > F > Br > I, hence B is correct.
For group 16, electron affinity order is S > Se > Te > O (O is smaller, more repulsion), so C is correct.
Electronegativity actually decreases down the group: O > S > Se > Te, so D is incorrect.
