Why oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur ?

Answers (1)

A Akshay

A bonding pair will experience more attraction from the oxygen's nucleus than from nitrogen's, and so the electronegativity of oxygen is greater. However, the bonding electrons in the sulphur are further from the nucleus, and so the attraction is lessened. So sulphur is less electronegative than oxygen.
