How does electronegative vary in general left to right across a period and down a group?

Your chemistry vocab is clearly wrong, incorrect and false. It is "electronegativity" not "electronegative" you should consider going back to primary school before attempting to pretend to know about the concept of "chemistry"

How can the periodic table be used to look at relative electronegativity of elements?
Fluorine is the most electronegative element. Down any group, electronegativity increases and across a period (from left to right), electronegativity increases.
Electronegativity increases as the size of the atom increases. True False?
Now there's an interesting question. In general, electronegativity increases as one progresses down a period, while electronegativity decreases as one moves down the group. The most electronegative element is fluorine, while the least electronegative nonradioactive element is francium.
How does the numbers of electrons change across a period of elements?
The number of valence electrons for the elements increases across a period, from 1 (group 1) to 8 (group 18).
How do the metallic properties of the elements change as you move from left to right on the periodic table?
Metallic character decreases as we move across a period. The electronegative character increases as we move across a period. So the element across the period will be non mettalic in nature.
How does the number of valence electrons for element change across a period?
The number of valence electrons for the elements increases across a period, from 1 (group 1) to 8 (group 18).
Does electronegativity increases or decreases as you move left to right across a period on the periodic table?
Electronegativity increases to the right across a period and up a group.
What general trend in electronegativity do you note going down a group across a period?
going down a group, electronegativity decreases going across a period, electronegativity increases

What part of the periodic table is the most reactive and least reactive?
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
How does electonegativity relate to the periodic table?
Electronegativity decreases down a group and increases across a period. So the most electronegative element is at the top right, fluorine (the noble gases don't count) The least electrnegative element is bottom left, francium.
How does the number of valence electrons for elements across a period?
The number of valence electrons for the elements increases across a period, from 1 (group 1) to 8 (group 18).

What are the general prorperties of the elemnts in the group to the right in the modern periodic table?
Non metals are present to the right side. They possess electronegative character.
Which one is the most electronegative element in the periodic table?
Chlorine is most electronegative element. It is halogen.It is placed in group-17.The most electronegative element in the periodic table is Fluorine. The electronegativity of elements increase from left to right of a period. And decreases own a group.
