No, these elements are not listed in order of electronegativity. The correct order of these elements from highest to lowest electronegativity is:
F > O > Cl > N > Br > I > S > C > P > H
Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element, while hydrogen (H) is the least electronegative among these elements.
To determine the order of electronegativity for these elements, you can consult the periodic table. Electronegativity refers to the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
One commonly used scale to measure electronegativity is the Pauling scale. According to this scale, the higher the electronegativity value, the more electronegative the element.
Here are the electronegativity values for the given elements in order:
F (Fluorine) - Electronegativity: 3.98
O (Oxygen) - Electronegativity: 3.44
N (Nitrogen) - Electronegativity: 3.04
Cl (Chlorine) - Electronegativity: 3.16
Br (Bromine) - Electronegativity: 2.96
C (Carbon) - Electronegativity: 2.55
S (Sulfur) - Electronegativity: 2.58
I (Iodine) - Electronegativity: 2.66
P (Phosphorus) - Electronegativity: 2.19
H (Hydrogen) - Electronegativity: 2.20
So, the elements arranged in order of decreasing electronegativity are:
F > O > Cl > N > Br > S > I > C > H > P
