Chlorine is more electronegative than phosphorus. Generally, the trend of the Periodic Table is that electronegativity increases as you go from left to right, and it decreases as you go down.

∙ 11y agoA full answer would require quantum calculations, but a simple answer is that a nitrogen atom is smaller, so that a newly added electron is closer to the attractive positive charge of the nucleus than it would be in a phosphorus atom.

Is phosphorus more electronegative than sodium?
Phosphorus is more electronegative than sodium. The electronegativity of phosphorus is 2.19. The electronegativity of sodium is 0.93.
Does NH3 has an oxidation number od -1?
Nitrogen is more electronegative than Hydrogen. So +1 for each hydrogen and -3 for nitrogen
Does ammonia have polar or nonpolar bonds?
Polar covalent - nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen and so the electrons in the bond spend more time closer to the nitrogen atom.
Which is more electronegative O or Se?
Oxygen is more electronegative than selenium.
Is hydrogen more electronegative than sulfur?
Sulfur is more electronegative than hydrogen
Is phosphorus more electronegative than sodium?
Phosphorus is more electronegative than sodium. The electronegativity of phosphorus is 2.19. The electronegativity of sodium is 0.93.
Is oxygen more electronegative than phosphorus?
According to the Pauling scale, the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 while that of phosphorus is 2.19. Therefore oxygen is more electronegative than phosphorus, i.e. the oxygen atom has a greater tendency to attract electrons towards itself than the phosphorus atom. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table, with an electronegativity value of 3.98.
Will nitrogen and oxygen be identical?
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.
Is nitrogen electronegative?
Nitrogen has a valence of 3 which attracts it to get electrons from other molecules..this attraction it has to complete it's outermost layer is called electronegativity.
Why does only phosphorus have valency more than 4?
No. Nitrogen does, as well.
Which has higher eleetron affinity between nitrogen and carbon?
carbon. though nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon but carbon has more affinity for electrons as nitrogen has half filled stability...
Does NH3 has an oxidation number od -1?
Nitrogen is more electronegative than Hydrogen. So +1 for each hydrogen and -3 for nitrogen
Would two compounds made of nitrogen and oxygen be identical?
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.
Which is more electronegative Sr or Be?
Sulfur is more electronegative than beryllium.
Would two compounds made of nitrogen and oxygen always be identical?
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.
Does ammonia have polar or nonpolar bonds?
Polar covalent - nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen and so the electrons in the bond spend more time closer to the nitrogen atom.
Why is the phosphorus cycle slower than the nitrogen cycle?
It occurs more slowly because phosphorus rarely occurs as a gas.
