No. Electronegativity decreases as the size of the atom increase. As you go across a row in the Periodic Table, you will see that electronegativity increases and the size of the atom decreases. Similarly, as you go down a column you will notice that the size of the atom increases and electronegativity decreases.

∙ 16y agoI am not aware of any pattern of EN with atomic size. It is directly related to Ioniozation Energy and Electron Affinity of an atom.

How is electronegativity related to corrosion?
The higher the electronegativity of a metal the less likely it is to corrode. Metals that corrode easily have a low electronegativity.
Why does electronegativity decrease as you go across a period?
It doesn't! See related answer under why electronegativity increases as one goes across a period.
What is an atomis mass?
The atomic mass is the mass of an atom
Which arrangement of elements represents an increasing trend of electronegativity?
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.
What three conditions of an atom control its strength of attraction and size?
Ionization Energy, Electronegativity, and Atomic Radius
How is electronegativity related to corrosion?
The higher the electronegativity of a metal the less likely it is to corrode. Metals that corrode easily have a low electronegativity.
What was President Trumans main argument for using the Atomis bomb against the Japanese?
Atomic not Atomis!
What does electronegativity represent why does it increase left to right and top to bottom on the periodic table?
electronegativity represents the size of an atom
How is the electronegativity trend related to the first ionization energy level?
When electronegativity decrease the first ionization energy also decrease.
What is the atomis weight of silver?
the answer is 107.87
What is the random motion of molecules called?
it is called the atomis it is called the atomis
Why does electronegativity decrease as you go across a period?
It doesn't! See related answer under why electronegativity increases as one goes across a period.
What increases as you move up a column of the periodic table?
Electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, and atomic number are values that increase from left to right across a period.
The eternal motion of atoms is called what?
Atomis
How the electronegativity trend related to the first ionization energy trend?
Electronegativity and first ionization energy both increase going up the Periodic Table.
What is true about elements with low electronegativity?
The atomic size for the element is very large.
How is electron affinity different from electrontivity?
Electron affinity is related to the formation of anions; electronegativity is related to the formation of cations.
