Question

We know that as the non metallic character increases,
electronegativity value also increases Then oxygen should have more
electronegativity than nitrogen?

Sujeet Kumar · Accepted Answer

Oxygen has 8 protons in the nucleus whereas nitrogen only has 7 A
bonding pair of electrons will experience more attraction from the
oxygenâ€™s nucleus that from nitrogen, thus the
electronegativity of oxygen is greater
