On the Periodic Table of elements, electronegativity increases as you move left to right across a period.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element. Down any group, electronegativity increases and across a period (from left to right), electronegativity increases.
metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases
Elements in a period all have the same number of electron shells (excepting the transition elements). Also, electronegativity increases left to right and up, and atomic radii increase right to left and down.
The elements with low electronegativity are the metals, specifically the alkali metals and alkali earth metals. The elements further to the left of the periodic table will have lower electronegativity than those farther to the right.
Yes electronegativity changes along a period. It increases along a period.

- Higher = They increase from left to right.

The element in period 4 of the Periodic Table with the highest electronegativity is krypton (2.96). The period 4 element with the lowest electronegativity is potassium (0.82).
Electronegative charge increases across the periodic table to the right and up into the corner ( excepting the Nobel gasses ), so the two elements that would have higher electronegativity in that direction and in order. Oxygen and fluorine.
Electronegativity is the ability for an atom to attract electrons. It is expressed in numeric values in Paulings (a unit named after a chemist). On the periodic table it increases from left to right across a period. It decreases down a group on the periodic table.
Electronegativity increases across a period (left to right).
