Yes electronegativity changes along a period. It increases along a period.
Generally the electronegativity is higher from left to right in a period.
Going Up
Electronegativity is the attraction of bonding electrons by an atom. As the size of the atom increases, so does the distance from the nucleus to any other atom's electrons. Electronegativity increases as you go right within a period or up within a group.
All of the elements in any one period of the Periodic Table have the same number of valence electrons.
It decreases from top to bottom!
An increase in atomic number would be accompanied by a decrease in radius, and an increase in electronegativity.
Manganese is in the fourth period of the Periodic Table of Elements. Periods are rows, groups are columns within the Periodic Table of Elements.
Elements within the same period have the their valence electrons in the same principle energy level. For example, those elements in period 2, have their valence electrons in the 2nd energy level.
Elements within the same row have the same electron configurations in their valence shell. Elements in the same period show trends in atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity.
no they can bond with any other element
They have similar chemical properties.
As you move from left to right across a row (or period) in the periodic table, the following things change: -- atomic size goes down -- electronegativity goes up -- electron affinity goes up See the Web Links and Related Questions links to the left of this answer for more details about why the trends occur and also some important exceptions to these trends.
Element within a group have nuclei of different sizes so that their valency electrons are at different distances from the nuclei. This affects their electronegativity and thence other chemical properties.
