What happens to the reactivity of left to right across the periodic table?

Across a period, as we move from left to right, the electronegativity increases in the periodic table.


What happens to the pull on the electrons in the Periodic Table?

I guess by pull of electrons you mean electronegativity. Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.


How does Electronegativity trend across the periodic table?

Electronegativity increases across a period (left to right).


How does electronegative change going down and across the periodic table?

Electronegativity increases across (left to right) the periodic table and decreases on going down.


When you move across the periodic table what happens to the electornegativity?

Electronegativity increases across the second and third periods or rows of the periodic table until the noble gases are reached; then electronegativity drops substantially. There is little change if any in electronegativity in the part of the higher numbered periods that represents transition metals, but the increase in electronegativity resumes in column 13 of these periods.


What happens to electronegativity as you go across a period?

The electronegativity increases


As you move across a period of a periodic table from left to right what happens to the elements electronegativity?

it decreases


What are the elecronegativity trends seen in the periodic table?

On the Periodic Table of elements, electronegativity increases as you move left to right across a period.


What trend is generally observed in electronegativity going across the periodic table from left to right?

From left to right and into the upper corner of the periodic table electronegativity increases. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, but the elements in group 18 generally have no electronegativity at all.


What is the periodic trend for elctronegativity?

Going down a group...electronegativity decreases Going across...electronegativity increases


What is the period trend for electronegativity?

As you move from left to right across the periodic table, electronegativity increases, and as you move down the table electronegativity decreases.


What is period trend for electronegativity?

As you move from left to right across the Periodic Table, electronegativity increases, and as you move down the table electronegativity decreases.
