P (15) - 2,8,5
nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus
Explanation:
Electronic configuration of nitrogen=2,5.
Electronic configuration of phosphorus=2,8,5.
Nitrogen will be more electronegative.Because it is a non-metal and it has ability to gain elecrons easily than losing electrons.(OH).
