Which of the following statements are incorrect?
A. The electronegativity of any given element is always constant.
B. Unlike ionisation enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy, electronegativity is not a measurable quantity.
C. Electronegativity values decreases with the increase in atomic radii down a group.
D. Electronegativity is inversely related to the non-metallic property of elements.
F. Fluorine with a value of electronegativity, i.e. 4 on Pauling scale has the more ability to attract electrons than nitrogen.
