| Here are the electronegativities of the halogens. ##”F” = color(white)(l)3.98## ##”Cl” = 3.16## ##”Br” = 2.96## ##”I” = color(white)(ll)2.66## ##”At” = 2.2## Below is a diagram of trends in . The trends for the halogens (in Group 17) are shown by the yellow arrow. The electronegativities increase from the , and ##”F”## is the most electronegative atom in the Periodic Table. Electronegativity tends to increase from of the Periodic Table. With the exception of astatine (in Row 6), each halogen has the highest electronegativity of any element in its Row. |
