Certainly! Let's arrange the elements "Li", "Be", "C", "N", "O", "F", and "Ne" in order of increasing electronegativity using their known values on the Pauling scale.
Here are the electronegativity values for these elements:
1. Li (Lithium) - 0.98
2. Be (Beryllium) - 1.57
3. C (Carbon) - 2.55
4. N (Nitrogen) - 3.04
5. O (Oxygen) - 3.44
6. F (Fluorine) - 3.98
7. Ne (Neon) - Neon is a noble gas and is typically not assigned an electronegativity value.
In order to arrange these elements in increasing order, we'll start with the lowest value and progress to the highest.
1. Ne - Although Neon does not have a typical electronegativity value since it's a noble gas and does not form bonds easily, for the purpose of this ranking, we can start with Ne.
2. Li (0.98)
3. Be (1.57)
4. C (2.55)
5. N (3.04)
6. O (3.44)
7. F (3.98)
Thus, the elements arranged in order of increasing electronegativity are:
[tex]\[ Ne, Li, Be, C, N, O, F \][/tex]
This provides a clear progression from the least electronegative element (in this context Neon with an assumed value of 0) to the most electronegative element (Fluorine with a value of 3.98).
