Answer 1

The correct options are;

The tendency of electrons to complete the 2p orbital gives the element a higher degree of electronegativity

Explanation:

The electronegativity of an element increases as electrons are added to the valence shell of the element

The electronegativity of elements increases up the group and across the period, therefore, an element having fewer number of shells is more electronegative than one with more shells

Which gives an element with the 2p orbital filled with electrons is more electronegative than one with the 3p orbital filled with electrons.
