NEET Physics: Not Applicable questions with solutions

Q1. Why does carbon exhibit strong electronegativity?

1. (a) Due to strong electronegativity of carbon.
2. (b) Due to weak electronegativity of carbon.
3. (c) Due to strong electropositivity of carbon.
4. (d) Due to weak electropositivity of carbon.

Answer: (a) Due to strong electronegativity of carbon.

Carbon exhibits strong electronegativity because of its small atomic size and high effective nuclear charge, which allows it to attract shared electrons effectively in a covalent bond.
