**Periodic Table Section**The image features a section of the periodic table highlighting groups 3A to 8A with a focus on nonmetals and metalloids, including shaded regions indicating different categories of elements. Group numbers are noted along the top, from 1A to 8A.**Question**"Arrange the following elements in order of increasing electronegativity: phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, chlorine"A prompt follows, requesting the answer based on general periodic trends rather than specific tabulated values:"Please answer this question according to the general rules you have learned regarding periodic trends. DO NOT base your answer on tabulated values since exceptions may occur."**Answer Template**- Smallest- (second smallest)- (second largest)- LargestThis layout allows students to fill in the respective positions based on their understanding of electronegativity trends on the periodic table, with space provided for ranking the elements from smallest to largest in their electronegativity values.

Electronegativity is measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself. The Pauling scale is used to measure electronegativity of an atom. This electronegativity is decrease down the group because distance between bonding pair of electron is increase. And electronegativity is increased across the period because as we go to the right, number of protons are increased in nucleus and due to this it attracts electron bonding pair strongly.If we check the position of phosphorous, sulfur, silicon, chlorine it is observed that they are placed in 3rd period. As we check atomic number of each element, silicon has atomic number 14, phosphorous has 15, sulfur has 16 and chlorine has atomic number 17. As we discussed above, electronegativity increases from left to right across period. Hence element with smaller electronegativity is silicon. After then it is phosphorous, sulfur and chlorine. Hence the order arranged from smallest to largest is shown as follows:- Silicon(Si)<Phosphorous(P)<Sulfur(S)<Chlorine(Cl)
