Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative electronegativities of elements $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ and $\text{X}$ and $\text{Y}$ in the periodic table, are to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract shared pair of electron. Pauling scale is used to determine the electronegativity of an element. Fluorine is most electronegative element of the periodic table.
