Difference between electron gain enthalphy and electronegativity is described by :
| 1. | Valence electrons | 2. | Atomic size |
| 3. | Atomic radii | 4. | Atomic number |
| 1. | O and Cl | 2. | N and Cl |
| 3. | N and Br | 4. | C and Br |
The incorrect order of electronegativity is :
| 1. | Cl > S > P > Si | 2. | Si > Al > Mg > Na |
| 3. | F > Cl > Br > I | 4. | None of the above. |

The statement that "the electronegativity of N on the Pauling scale is 3.0 in all the nitrogen compounds" is incorrect because:
| 1. | Electronegativity of an element is a variable property. |
| 2. | Pauling scale is not used to measure electronegativity. |
| 3. | The electronegativity of N on the Pauling scale is 12.0 |
| 4. | None of the above. |
