Solution

To determine the correct order of the elements in increasing electronegativity, we need to compare their electronegativity values. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.

First, let's look at the elements individually:

  • Al (aluminum)
  • F (fluorine)
  • O (oxygen)

Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element among these three. Oxygen (O) is more electronegative than aluminum (Al).

Now, let's consider the compounds:

  • OF (oxygen and fluorine)
  • AlO (aluminum and oxygen)
  • F (fluorine)
  • AlAl (aluminum)
  • O (oxygen)
  • F (fluorine)

In the compound OF, fluorine (F) is more electronegative than oxygen (O). Therefore, OF has a higher electronegativity than AlO.

In AlO, oxygen (O) is more electronegative than aluminum (Al). Therefore, AlO has a higher electronegativity than AlAl.

Based on this information, we can arrange the elements and compounds in increasing electronegativity:

AlAl < AlO < OF < O < F < F

So, the correct order from least to greatest electronegativity is:

AlAl, AlO, OF, O, F, F
